[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-12000) Random "Unable to publish to ther server" error

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12000?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12696631#comment-12696631 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-12000:
-------------------------------------

Via the stacktrace, the lines match up with the following:

{code}
		if( adaptableObject instanceof IServerAttributes ) {
			typeId = ((IServerAttributes)adaptableObject).getServerType().getId();
			s = (IServer)adaptableObject;
		} else if( adaptableObject instanceof IRuntime ) {
{code}

The problem here is that, judging by the stacktrace, the only value for adaptableObject is an IServer, which extends IServerAttributes. If this element is null, however, it will never make it passed the instanceof check. Therefore we can assume it is not null. 

So we know it cannot be null... this means the return value from getServerType() must be null. Unfortunately that means you have a broken server somehow. A server with a null IServerType is one that would not pass this adaptable request 

Have you tried deleting the server and recreating it?
