I've started learning Ofbiz a few days ago but I fail to follow Ofbiz Tutorial part 3 CRUD (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Tutorial+-+A+Beginners+Development+Guide). When I start running createPracticePerson service, I get
JavaEventHandler |E| Problems Processing Event
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.ofbiz.service.engine.GenericEngineFactory.getGenericEngine (GenericEngineFactory.java:53) ~[bin/:?]
at org.ofbiz.service.ServiceDispatcher.getGenericEngine(ServiceDispatcher.java:799) ~[bin/:?] ...
I have tried using other tutorial as reference (http://ofbiz.us/developing-enterprise-application-with-apache-ofbiz-platform), but still get the same error message. I have included some of xml files for reference. Thanks
