5.6 GUI file browser issues

Cloverleaf 5.6

AIX 5.3

I’m using the GUI in our 5.6 environment for dev (we are running 5.4.1 for test and prod).

I’m running the GUI on the server as I have done for many years and have an issue with the 5.6 file browser failing to work.  I’ve included some of the Java errors below.

The work around, which I’ve been doing for a few months is to copy or create a file template into the correct directory and use the ‘view’ ‘site manager’ to select the file and then all is OK.

Has anyone seen this before and have a fix?

Thanks
