Error in BCD list - SharePoint 2010 - list

I'm getting this error when I try to access BCD list in SharePoint 2010:
Error while executing web part: Microsoft.BusinessData.Infrastructure.BdcException: The shim execution failed unexpectedly - The type initializer for 'WK.JednostkaPolicjiService' threw an exception.. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'WK.JednostkaPolicjiService' threw an exception. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The tricky part here is that I have a WebApplication with two zones:
Default (Cliams - Windows authentication)
Internet (Claims - Windows and Forms authenctication)
BCD lists in default zone are working fine but lists located in the site in Internet zone retruns above error.
In BCD I have set appropriate permissionss. I use windows account in both cases.
Where could be the problem?
Thanks in advance, Chris.
~Resolved: I had got wrong configuration of MembershipProvider in my site in IIS.

WFFM error on CD server

Ours is a sitecore 8.2 update 3 solution.
We installed wffm on CD as per sitecore guide and enabled SwitchMastertoweb config,
Post it, we are getting the below error.
Solutions tried out
1. Removing the reporting section from SwitchMastertoweb.config file.
No luck. same error.
2. Disabling SwitchMastertoweb.config file.Still same error(sounds strange to me but we are getting same error).
Any clue or more solutions to try out

Sitecore: Server Error in '/' Application : Empty strings are not allowed. Parameter name: handleId

My regression testing is on going to an upgraded Sitecore instance of 8.0-U3 to 8.1-U2. And one piece of the testing is to check if the workflow is properly working as expected.
So I created a new sample item named PAGE ABC (template: /sitecore/templates/Sample/Sample Item) under the /sitecore/content/home node.
The workflow of the PAGE ABC is 'Sample workflow' (template: /sitecore/system/Workflows/Sample Workflow) which was provided on a freshly installed Sitecore instance.
The PAGE ABC was created without any issue, but when I submitted the PAGE ABC, I encountered an ArgumentException shown below:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Note: In this case, all the required fields are populated. I also tried leaving one (1) required field empty but same problem persist.
I searched for the keyword 'handleId' parameter on the entire website and I found this section on my \temp folder _UpgradeHistory which I suspected has something to do with the above issue inside the Sitecore.Kernel.xml
<member name="M:Sitecore.Workflows.WorkflowUIHelper.ExtractFieldsFromFieldEditor(System.String)">
<summary>
Extract the field values set by the field editor
</summary>
<param name="handleId">The Id of the handle holding the return values from the field editor</param>
<returns>A NameValueCollection containg the fields</returns>
</member>
I also tried searching over the internet, but I didn't find any relative solution to my problem.
Edited: I created a freshly instance of Sitecore v.8.1-U2. Replace the master db in the ConnectionString.config of the upgrade instance and the workflow submit action works, then I attached back the upgraded master database and I encountered again the issue.
Edited: I actually also noticed that there's a difference in the dialog box of the workflow. It is small compared to the working instance, which is a bigger dialog box. See supporting screenshots below:
Figure 1 : Not working workflow
Figure 2 : Working workflow
I will post a more detailed investigation when I got new information. Appreciate any help. Thanks.
I found the fix and the root cause.
First, I recreated the issue by creating a new workflow 'WORKFLOW ABC' under /sitecore/system/Workflows, I added the necessary actions, such as Draft and Published, and then create a new template and assign the 'WORKFLOW ABC'. I also created an actual item and tried to change the workflow of the item from Submit to Published. The error appeared once again. (successful replication of the issue)
Then I did the same process to a freshly installed instance and I wasn't able to replicate the issue.
Root cause:
So I compared both values and there's a discrepancy, the Default Comment Template field was empty (why it took me so long to figured this out) but is existing to the freshly installed 8.1-U2 instance.
Resolution:
I changed the value of the Default Comment Template field from empty to \Templates\System\Workflow\Standard Comment Template and test again and it works.
Screenshot for easy visualization:
You may also want to update the Default Comment Dialog Height field value to 250, but this one is optional.
EDITED
Since when changing the master database, the workflow works. Then the issue comes with the items. Can you check if the template of the workflow is the same as compared with the working instance.
Path is /sitecore/templates/System/Workflow

Getting error on Content Editor after upgrading to Sitecore 8

This is assuming that you already disabled all the Lucene configuration under your App_Config > Include folder and read the Sitecore Search Scaling Guide chapter 3, if not yet, please do so.
Now, the problem relies on your Global.asax, replace the:
Inherits="Sitecore.Web.Application"
To:
Inherits="Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.CastleWindsorIntegration.WindsorApplication"
This is assuming again that your dependency injection is the CastleWindsor and all the essential DLLs for CastleWindors were deployed in your web instance (Website > bin folder)
These are:
SolrNet.dll
Microsoft.Practices.ServiceLocation.dll
Castle.Facilities.SolrNetIntegration.dll
Sitecore.ContentSearch.SolrProvider.CastleWindsorIntegration.dll
Alternatively, there are other four (4) DI framework you can check if CastleWindor is not the dependency injection of your project, and the descriptive details of these DI can be found in the Sitecore Search Scaling Guide.
Once the verification and setup is completed, reload your Sitecore instance and it should load properly. Cheers!
Edited: You may also want to check the SOLR support package DLL version against your current instance version. I experienced the issue several times this week and the root cause always boils down to DLL version discrepancies.
There is something we needed to do with this. Have you changed from Lucene to Solr. It's was in the Solr.config we needed to change some values, although I thought this bug had been fixed. Take a look at

System.Security.SecurityException when calling SharePoint Web Service (_vti_bin/Lists.asmx) from InfoPath form (VSTA)

I have ended up with an exception when calling the GetListItems(...) web service method. I am using Visual Studio Tools for Applications as I am customizing an InfoPath form. This is creating .NET 2.0 code.
I am sitting on my host computer, and querying the SharePoint WFE. This has been working nicely before I switched from InfoPath 2010 and InfoPath 2007. After I switched over to InfoPath 2007, VSTA was reinstalled an probably caused som funky issues. Anyone got an idea on how to solve this?
I have modified both my local web.config for .net 2.0, and my .net framework configuration 2.0 to allow full trust on the strong name of my application.
Any tips?
The full stacktrace:
System.Security.SecurityException was unhandled by user code

According to the stack trace, your application doesn't have WebPermission while running the code. This can be caused because your code isn't set as full trust at your host site (and yes, this could be caused by new install).
Check the security settings for your code at the host - your code can't create WebRequests now.
