Getting error while repository information is not available while it should be

Hi All,

There are some Pentaho transformations in our local repository (file based repository), where we have to call these transformations as webservice (as per requirement).

I am trying to access this (standardize.ktr) transformation as webservice but its throwing below error.

Error executing transformation <ktr name>
unable to load mapping transformation because of error
Repository information is not available, when it should be.

below is url i have used:
http://localhost:8181/kettle/executeTrans/?trans=C:\srv\pentaho\ti-etl\pentaho-repository\services\core\address\standardize.ktr


I have also attached screenshot, it shows error along with html chars and its very hard to get it.

I have also gone through below pentaho wiki for this
http://wiki.pentaho.com/display/EAI/...r+web+services

When i use trans parameter %2Fservices%2Fcore%2Faddress%2Fstandardize.ktr instead of C:\srv\pentaho\ti-etl\pentaho-repository\services\core\address\standardize.ktr it throws me below error

unable to load transformation from repository, null pointer exception.

Any help/inputs will be really appreciated.
