Cannot create Case because cached CaseID is 0.

[Michele Smith]

Hello I inherited this project from another person/entity. What should I do first to figure out where the error is coming from?


HTTP Status 500 -

Check out where the exception came from by following the stack trace. The root at the bottom would be the place to start:
java.lang.Exception: Cannot create Case because cached CaseID is 0.
bcc.lib.Context.getCase(Context.java:758)

Check out class bcc.lib.Context, line 758. That's where the exception is thrown from. If the issue is caused by some invalid parameter, go to the next line (class bcc.lib.dob.DocumentElement, line 335). Continue until you've either found the cause or have reached code from Sun/Oracle's code (or any other 3rd party library you use).

Line 335 is this:

Case c = ctx.getCase( getAgent() );

Thanks,
Michele

P.S. I believe that in order to properly debug this I need a server installed and run it in debug mode, do you?

I don't see why. Assuming that ctx.getCase() is known to work (???), my first thought would be: why does getAgent() return a value (0?) that causes the error. If you still can't see it, then fire up a debugger.
