Cannot parse persistent.xml storage.xml... null pointer exception

hi,
i have an EAR with a WAR and an EJB jar. i only have session beans. no entity beans. my EJB jar does not have a persistent.xml or storage.xml. i build my EAR using ant and deploy using visual administrator (thanks to Vladimir Pavlov). i get this huge stack that says
"com.sap.engine.deploy.exceptions.BaseIOException: Cannot parse persistent.xml or storage.xml for JAR F:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\admin\.\temp\deploying\deploy_temp\reader1115328611113\tap-ejb.jar.
Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException."
i get this only when i have <security-permission> in the ejb-j2ee-engine.xml. does this tag need one of these files. the application deploys just fine if i dont have the <security-permission>. i need to map the users to the roles in the application for EJBs.
can someone please tell me what is happening here.
thanks

It is not only with Deploy tool and visual admin tool. i tried the console too. gave me an error saying "cannot parse ejb-j2ee-engine.xml". it did not mention the persistent.xml or storage.xml though.
i checked the validity of the xml with the dtd using altova xml spy. it passed.
can you please tell me how I report an OSS message?
thanks

Cannot parse persistent.xml or storage.xml.... NullPointerException

I have created an EAR with one WAR file and 3 EJB JAR.
in every ejb jar i have add the ejb-j2ee-engine.xml and in the war the web-j2ee-engine.xml
all the ejb are only BMP (bean persistent)
When i open the deploy tool, create a new project and try to load this ear, this error occurs reading the first ejb jar.
Error occured while trying to load ear fiel - incorrect EAR!
com.sap.engine.deploy.exceptions.BaseIOException: Cannot parse persistent.xml or storage.xml for JAR E:\sapproject\sapabs\deployer\temp\reader1108653530265\ABSEJBSRuntime.jar
Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException
why?
I get a lok to persistent.dtd and seem for only CMP entity.
I try to insert in every ejb jar a empty persistent.xml file, but nothing change.
Any idea ?
Thank You

Hi Roberto,
You are absolutely right - persistent.xml describes the O/R mapping and some other properties of CMP entity beans, it is not used for BMP.
Instead of using the deploy tool, I would suggest to deploy your application with the Shell console administrator or the Visual Administrator tool. Have a look at
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cb/6acf38422f0244b960236643e3cc46/frameset.htm
Server Administration -> J2EE Engine Administration Tools -> Shell Console Administrator
If you want not only to deploy your app but also to further develop it, it's better to use the NW Developer Studio - it is more sophisticated and provides more useful features than deploy tool.
Hope this helps,
Vladimir

Is there a reason why this is and how do I get by it.
ii. Can I just add the field directly within the MDS>file/user.xml? Would there be an issue with changing an existing attribute metadata using the user.xml?

Pradeep thank you for your response. it was helpful. However, I also found the responses to both my questions.
i. The null pointer exception was due to using a complex query I was using in the LOV query. I tried a simple query and that worked fine.
ii. For modifying the user defined attributes one can consult the following forum post:

Cannot parse ejb-j2ee-engine.xml

During installation of XI3.0 I get this error in the "Online deployment adapter framwork". Has anyone else seen this error? Here's the complete error:
Error: Aborted: development component 'com.sap.xi.mdt'/'sap.com'/'SAP AG'/'3.0.20040129102613.0000':

Any help will be apreciated!

Hello Dankertsen
This is a standard error in SAP XML Deployment file, you need to check the file ejb-j2ee-engine.xml if it starts with a space (first line) you must remove it and then update the file aii_mdt_bean.jar. and then retry again.
Hope this will help.

JAX-WS Client throws NULL Pointer Exception in NW 7.1 SP3 and higher

All,
My JAX-WS client is throwing an exception when attempting to create a client to connect to the calculation service. The exception is coming out of the core JAX-WS classes that are part of NetWeaver. (see exception below)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatchContextExistingPort(SAPServiceDelegate.java:440)
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatchContext(SAPServiceDelegate.java:475)
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatch(SAPServiceDelegate.java:492)
     at com.sap.engine.services.webservices.espbase.client.jaxws.core.SAPServiceDelegate.createDispatch(SAPServiceDelegate.java:484)
     at javax.xml.ws.Service.createDispatch(Service.java:166)
I have done some research and it appears that as of NetWeaver 7.1 SP3 SAP stopped using the SUN JAX-WS runtime and implemented their own SAP JAX-WS runtime. I also took the time to decompile the jar file that contained the SAPServiceDelegate class which is throwing the null pointer exception. (see method from SAPServiceDelegate below)
    private ClientConfigurationContext createDispatchContextExistingPort(QName portName, JAXBContext jaxbContext)
        BindingData bindingData;
        InterfaceMapping interfaceMap;
        InterfaceData interfaceData;
        bindingData = clientServiceCtx.getServiceData().getBindingData(portName);
        if(bindingData == null)
            throw new WebServiceException((new StringBuilder()).append("Binding data '").append(portName.toString()).append("' is missing!").toString());
        QName bindingQName = new QName(bindingData.getBindingNamespace(), bindingData.getBindingName());
        interfaceMap = getInterfaceMapping(bindingQName, clientServiceCtx);
        interfaceData = getInterfaceData(interfaceMap.getPortType());
        ClientConfigurationContext result = DynamicServiceImpl.createClientConfiguration(bindingData, interfaceData, interfaceMap, null, jaxbContext, getClass().getClassLoader(), clientServiceCtx, new SOAPTransportBinding(), false, 1);
        return result;
        WebserviceClientException x;
        x;
        throw new WebServiceException(x);
The exception is being throw on the line where the interfaceMap.getPortType() is being passed into the getInterfaceData method. I checked the getInterfaceMapping method which returns the interfaceMap (line above the line throwing the exception). This method returns NULL if an interface cannot be found. (see getInterfaceMapping method below)
   public static InterfaceMapping getInterfaceMapping(QName bindingQName, ClientServiceContext context)
        InterfaceMapping interfaces[] = context.getMappingRules().getInterface();
        for(int i = 0; i < interfaces.length; i++)
            if(bindingQName.equals(interfaces<i>.getBindingQName()))
                return interfaces<i>;
        return null;
What appears to be happening is that the getInterfaceMapping method returns NULL then the next line in the createDispatchContextExistingPort method attempts to call the getPortType() method on a NULL and throws the Null Pointer Exception.
I have included the code we use to create a client below. It works fine on all the platforms we support with the exception of NetWeaver 7.1 SP3 and higher (I already checked SP5 as well)
      //Create URL for service WSDL
      URL serviceURL = new URL(null, wsEndpointWSDL);
      //create service qname
      QName serviceQName = new QName(targetNamespace, "WSService");
      //create port qname
      QName portQName = new QName(targetNamespace, "WSPortName");
      //create service
      Service service = Service.create(serviceURL, serviceQName);
      //create dispatch on port
      serviceDispatch = service.createDispatch(portQName, Source.class, Service.Mode.PAYLOAD);
What do I need to change in order to create a JAX-WS dispatch client on top of the SAP JAX-WS runtime?

Hi Guys,
I am getting the same error. Any resolution or updates on this.
Were you able to fix this error.

Problem in getEelementById() method-null pointer exception

Hi All,
I am using DocumentBuilder factory for parsing a xml file.
I am getting the document object and also creating an element in
the root element .And also I am setting the element id for the
element as attiribute .I need to select the element having same ID
using getElementById() method .But it is giving null pointer
exception.
N.B: My parsing file contains dtd declaration and root element.
My sample code look like this;
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db=dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc=db.parse(ne File("C:/index.xml");
Element root t=doc.getDocumentElement();
root.setAttribute("ID","12345");
Element oElement = doc.createElement(element_name);
oElement.setAttribute("ID",element_id);
Element oEle=doc.getElementById(element_id);
Could anyone please to solve this problem.
Please do favour with me.
Thanks and Regards,
Sreekanth

while creating xml you should mention which attribute is ID attribute using
setIDAttribute() method,
as you are setting "ID" attribute as ID so
after adding Id attribute to the root element
use setIDAttribute("ID",true);
then getElementById will return the element by using ID

Null Pointer Exception with Oracle Transformer

Hi all,
I'm getting a NullPointerException after building a DOM tree and feeding it to a stream via the Oracle JAXP transformer. I am trying to convert the data in DOMSource to PDF file. The following code:
TransformerFactory transFact = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transForm = transFact.newTransformer();
ByteArrayOutputStream pdfOutStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
DOMSource pdfInput = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult pdfOutput = new StreamResult(pdfOutStream);
transForm.transform(pdfInput,pdfOutput);
int pdfByteSize = pdfOutStream.size();
System.out.println("Size of pdfByteSize : "+ pdfByteSize);
pdfByte = new byte[pdfByteSize];
pdfByte = pdfOutStream.toByteArray();
InputStream formInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(pdfByte);
Iam getting error at "transForm.transform(pdfInput,pdfOutput);".

I have a similar problem in OIM 9.1
Something that used to work with SOA 10g, now is not working in SOA 11g.
OIM sending a delete request to an external target (in this case, a BPEL end point) and the response generated by the BPEL comes back and has problems in OIM.
The only difference that we can see is that SOA 11g is generating WS-Addressing elements in the header section of the Response Envelope, whereas 10g did not.

Null pointer exception and servlet

I cant figure out why i am getting a null pointer exception. this works if i keep my form output in the same class as my driving servlet. All i did was break off the html display to a new form and i get a null pointer exception.
this is just an excerpt. no reason to post the whole form.
Here are my two classes...

   implements SingleThreadModel {
        displayScreen myAddressBook;
        HttpServletRequest request;
        HttpServletResponse response;
        String displayForm = "DISPLAYFORM";
        String addForm     = "ADDFORM";
        String editForm    = "EDITFORM";
     // get function

    throws IOException, ServletException
          request = this.request;

     request = this.request;
    response = this.response;
     if ((request.getParameterValues("submit")[0].equals("Next")))
        myAddressBook.sendAddressBook(request,response,false,displayForm);

     response.setContentType("text/html"); /*****/ I GET A NULL POINTER EXCEPTION RIGHT HERE!!!!!!
}

anyway to write the system.err to an html screen with
a servlet?Why would you ask that? Surely you should have asked "Any way to write a stack trace to an HTML screen from a servlet?"
And in fact there is. I am sure you have not yet looked up the Exception class and the versions of its printStackTrace() method. But when you do, you will see that there are printStackTrace(PrintStream) and printStackTrace(PrintWriter). And you know how to write HTML (or text in general) to the servlet response so that it shows up in the client's browser, right? I will let you figure out how to put those things together.

What is actually throwing the NullPointerException? rs.getMetaData() or table.setModel()?

Null Pointer exception in ToplinkDataControlProvider

Hi all,
I'm using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.0.4 and ADF Faces with Toplink. After creating a new database diagram with new tables and creating physical tables in database, I have created POJO files from database objects. There is no problem at this point but when I want to create xml data control files for POJO files. The null pointer exception is thrown in the jdeveloper dialog window.
thanks in advance
--barisk

Hi all,
This time , After I removed (deleted) 2-3 POJO files (model files) which is mapped against database tables, I have tried to create POJO files again but jdeveloper IDE has shown error message via popup window. The exception message is given below:

I couldn't create POJO files and after clicking OK button in popup window; the progress indicator in another window which indicates the creation of POJO files moves continuously.... So please tell me, in where do I make mistake?
best regards...

Null pointer exception with Lists

Hi,
I have got a problem with java.util.List. It is giving Null pointer exception whenever I try to add after extracting from my XML file.I have written the code like this:
List year; //Global variable
List loaddatas; //Global variable
Element e1; //Global
loaddatas=root.getChild("Load").getChildren("LoadData");
int k=loaddatas.size();
for(int i=0;i<loaddatas.size();i++)
e1=(Element)loaddatas.get(i);
year.add(i,Integer.valueOf(e1.getChildText("Year"))); // I am getting exception here.....
root is root element in XML file.
I am able to display "Integer.valueOf(e1.getChildText("Year"))" correctly.
Anybody please tell me how to solve this.
Thanks,
Sai Ram

Looks like somebody forgot to learn to program before starting to write code....
List list = new ArrayList();

I don't think OIM 11g supports DSML profile and may be that's the reason you are getting NPE.
See: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e14309/spmlapi.htm#CHDCBJAI
It states:
"SPML has two profiles: the XSD profile and the DSML profile. This release of Oracle Identity Manager makes use of the XSD profile."
