Axis 1.3 webservices exception gives problem

Question

I am creating webservices using AXIS 1.3. While throw the exception, we are using the "org.w3c.dom.Element" to set the error message into the exception.
But when the control reaches the following line of code I am getting NullpointerException.
detailErr[0].setAttribute("error", rexception.toString()); Element[] detailErr = new Element[1]; (I have instanciated the element object like this)
Please guide me.
Try{
}catch(Exception exception){
Element[] detailErr = new Element[1]; 
detailErr[0].setAttribute("error", exception.toString());  // Nullpointerexception
throw new MyuserDefineException(�1232�,�exception�,�myservice�, detailer)
}

Apparently you don't understand arrays. You've created the array with a space for one reference. You never assign anything into that array element.
String[] s = new String[1];
s[0].size(); // The reference is NULL!The above is guaranteed to be a null pointer exception - how could the array element have a String in it? We never create a String (only the array) and what text would it have even if it somehow magically worked?
Instead you would have to do this:
String[] s = new String[1];
s[0] = "Hello";
s[0].size(); // The reference is NOT nullThe above is exactly analogous to your problem.
