PTC Thingworx: java null pointer exception

TW 6.5.5 with postgres properly configured, after proper deploying of war file, provide a java null pointer exception. It seems tied to improper credentials (check application.log below) but also folow instructions retrieved on the web to manage the modelprovideconfig.json file, still no chance to have it working properly. Any idea?

I found it in your stack trace. You are trying to do something you need password. You are doing something that will normal user don’t and it can make errors all around your system, because password required isn’t often.

I found the solution! Postgresql can only be installed under windows drive (c:): on a different case (other local drive) installation fails. Also apache/tomcat (and so my webapp at the end) must belong to the same disk (this is causing the java nullpointer exception). A possible alternative is to integrate fixed code into the apache/tomca server.xml config.xml files in ordero to embed for ALL apache/tomcat webapplication credentials. Since my webapp is pointing to a .json file and refers to a postgresql instance, no chance except putting it into local rrive :-) that's all.
