Dear all,

We are using IPT 2.5.1, on a server with Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment
(build 1.8.0_131-b11) and tomcat7.

In managing a newly created resource, if we navigate to Metadata,
section citation, we get the following error:

=====

FreeMarker template error (HTML_DEBUG mode; use RETHROW in production!)

Java method
"org.gbif.ipt.model.Resource.generateResourceCitation(String, String)"
threw an exception when invoked on org.gbif.ipt.model.Resource object
"Resource ibi_mantodea_01"; see cause exception in the Java stack trace.

Could anyone help to sort out how to resolve this problem? Let me know
if you need any more information.

best,
