Environment

  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

The reported exception is produced inside the OSGI code when the OSGI framework is being initialized and org.eclipse.osgi.storagemanager.StorageManager.open(StorageManager.java:708) is reading the information stored in [LIFERAY_HOME]/osgi/state

To solve this error you have to delete the content of  the [LIFERAY_HOME]/osgi/state folder.

The information stored in this folder it will be regenerated during startup if it is deleted, so it is safe to delete. (This folder can be considered as a "cache" of the OSGI configuration.)
