[Anthill-pro] Persistence Strategy creation failed: Using defaultstrategy

[Hopper, Jeff]

Found the problem with this...  If you point the AnthillPro working
directory to a defunct directory you will get this NullPointerException.
To reproduce this I simply edited the .anthill2.properties file in user
home directory to point to a defunct directory, got the exception in the
email thread below.  Edited the .anthill2.properties file to point at
the actual AnthillPro install and then voila a clean startup.  Problem
arose initially by setting the wrong AnthillPro working dir, then the
install wouldn't recover because the admin page won't load.

Probably want to provide better output if the AnthillPro working
directory is bad.  

Cheers,


jeff
