ZD 2.0b1 : cannot start

[Goulou]

Hi all,

I just started testing ZD 2.0 beta 1 (which I've been waiting for for quite a time!), but I can't get it to work.
I have a "basic" ZCS 6.0.5 account on a server along with self-signed certificate.
I managed to set up my account without problems, it tells me that it is correctly set and starts synchronizing (after the usual warning because of the self-signed certificate). However, when I hit the button that should get me to the usual interface, It stays at the "loading" screen.
In the log, I can see that the account is set up fine and starts synchronizing (I get tons of "[sync-mbox-xxx@xxx.xxx] [] offline - initial: created message (130487): message subject"), but I also get the following NPException (tail -f tells me that it appears exactly when the "loading..." screen appears) :

A strange thing I noticed : just few lines later, I also got the following exception :

Less that 1 second after that one, the synchronization process seems to start.
This second exception appeared only once, but the first one comes back every time I restart Prism...

Thanks in advance for your help!

Few other infos : I first tried to set up my user directory at the default place, which happens to be on AFS. I quickly got lots IOException, thus gave up and set up my user data in a custom directory : that may help explain what happens here!
