My servlet throws java.lang.NullPointerException when calling service()

i can't determine which part exactly is null and the exception log is:

Is this line 37?
If so, if any of fName, lName or addr are null you will get a NullPointerException.
This is not how you check whether something is null.
Use '=='.

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException when calling getServletContext

    Hi All,
    When calling getServletContext from my servlet, i'm getting the following exception to my web client:

    message
    description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

    note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.0.27 logs.
    My code is:
    ServletContext sc = getServletContext();
    RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/Header");
    rd.include(request, response);
    It couldn't pass the call of getServletContext, Any idea why?
    Thanks.

    I haven't looked at the source yet, but I remember the api specs talking about the init(ServletConfig) method being called by the container.
    The servlet will the set up it's references to objects (eg. the ServletContext) and calls the init() method.
    So, if you override the init(ServletConfig) method the references will never be set up, and you will get null calling getServletContext().
    So always use the init() method for any initialization of servlets.

  • Jax-ws 2.2.8 and ws-addressing: Client throwing java.lang.NullPointerException on receipt of HTTP 202 when using non-anonymous ReplyTo address

    Server: JBoss EAP 6.2.0
    Client: JDK 1.7.0_51 x64
    JAX-WS: RI 2.2.8 ( via -Djava.endorsed.dirs )
    I am getting a java.lang.NullPointerException when calling the operation on the WS endpoint from the client when using non-anonymous replyTo address.
    I have simplified the scenario into a small test case that hopefully others can replicate. Since the exception is happening on the client instead of the server, I would think that the container used is irrelevant, but I have specified it nonetheless.

    In summary:
    Server is listening on port 8080
    Client will listen in port 8082 for the callback from the server for the SOAP response
    Now when I run the client, I see that the proper behaviour as far as ws-addressing is concerned. That is:
    client  -- SOAP request ( on port 8080 ) --> server
    client <-- HTTP 202 ( empty HTTP body )  --- server
    client <-- SOAP response ( on port 8082 )  --- server
    All well and good, except that I am getting a NullPointerException on the client side when I call the operation.
    With debugging of the SOAP request and responses, I get the following output:

    Any ideas ?

    I think I have found when I get this error and probably I have found a bug. I will appreciate if someone can confirm this.
    In my BPEL project setup, my BPEL process's wsdl file imports another wsdl from different namespace. Here is sample snippet -
    <wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://namespace/1">
    <wsdl:import namespace="http://namespace/2" location="resources/another.wsdl"/>
    <plnk:partnerLinkType....../>
    </wsdl:definitions>
    Please let me know. I checked the bundled samples with Oracle BPEL PM and did not find any similar case where process wsdl imports another wsdl.
    Thank you.

  • Error in executing servlet JSPRunner: java.lang.NullPointerException

    I have some problems with my jsp files.
    I am using iAS6sp4 and iWS 6 on W2K.
    I created a EJB jar file and an empty WAR file (No JSP, Servlet, just web.xml & ias-web.xml) and pack them into a ear file for deployment. It was successful.
    Then I copy some jsp files to <iasinstall>/ias6/ias/APPS/<app name>/<war name>
    and restart the ias and iws server.
    When I try the URL: "http://myserver/NASApp/<app name>/myjsp.jsp", I got this error message from kjs.

    My jsp didn't include any java code, just pure htm code. I want to give it a test. But even though I tried with a proper jsp i still got this message. pls advise.

    Hi,
    I got this working. Here are the steps that I followed and the output...
    Steps
    1. Deployed the helloworld application
    2. Invoked the application to see if it works fine
    3. Copied the myjsp.jsp to the C:\iPlanet\ias6\ias\APPS\helloworld\helloworld directory
    4. Shutdown the iAS and iWS and started again
    5. Invoked the .jsp file by typing http://sundts2.india.sun.com:81/NASApp/helloworld/myjsp.jsp in the browser.

    <H1>This is a .jsp file for testing</H1>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    I believe the problem in your case must be that the .jsp file has been placed in a directory where iAS is not able to recognise. I'm sure this will help. Please feel free to raise questions on this.

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException when trying to compile

    Hi everybody!
    I'm trying to compile a file using javax.tools.JavaCompiler but I get a java.lang.NullPointerException when running the program.
    Here is my code:
    public boolean CompExecFile(File filename){
              boolean compRes = false;
              try {
                   System.out.println(filename.getAbsolutePath());
                   JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
                   StandardJavaFileManager fileManager = compiler.getStandardFileManager(null, null, null); //line where I get the error
                   Iterable<? extends JavaFileObject> compilationUnits2 = fileManager.getJavaFileObjects(filename);
                   compRes = compiler.getTask(null, fileManager, null, null, null, compilationUnits2).call();
                   fileManager.close();
                 if (compRes) {
                     System.out.println ("Compilation was successful");
                 } else {
                     System.out.println ("Compilation failed");
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return compRes;
         }There error on the line "StandardJavaFileManager fileManager = compiler.getStandardFileManager(null, null, null);":
    Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException+
    I've seen several examples using the parameters "null,null,null" but I don't know if it's good :(
    Many thanks for your help.

    I've found something which could maybe be what I need to do but I'm not sure:
    // Build a new ClassLoader using the given URLs, replace current Classloader
    ClassLoader oldCL = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
    ClassLoader newCL = new URLClassLoader(myClasspathURLs, oldCL);
    Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(newCL);
    System.out.println("Successfully replaced ClassLoader");
    Class fooClass = newCL.loadClass(appClass); //which replaces the line "Class<?> tempFileClass = Class.forName("TempFile");" ?!Is that what I need to do?
    EDIT: I've tried that but I still have the same problem:
                      File classFile = new File ("TempFile.class");
                      ClassLoader oldCL = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
                      ClassLoader newCL = new URLClassLoader(new URL[] {classFile.toURL()}, oldCL);
                      Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(newCL);
                      System.out.println("Successfully replaced ClassLoader");
                      Class tempFileClass = newCL.loadClass("TempFile");
                      Method main = tempFileClass.getMethod("main", String[].class);
                      main.invoke(null,new String[0]); Edited by: Foobrother on Jul 28, 2008 8:18 AM

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException when doing SQL on ms access

    I am trying to perform Insert and delete commands on an access database and I continue to get a java.lang.NullPointerException when performing the action. Everything is fine when i do a Select * FROM..., I am able to read all of the information I ask for, but when performing the Insert/Delete commands I get the error. Any help would be appreciated, I will copy and past a portion of my code below. All of the fields and variable types match with what is in the database.
    public void executeAddSecretary() throws SQLException{
    String a,b;
    a= txtSecLname.getText();
    b= txtSecFname.getText();
    statement.execute("INSERT INTO Contact_Sec (Sec_Lname,Sec_Fname) Values ('" + a + "', '" + b + "')");
    System.out.println("updated Secretary");
    public void executeDeleteContact() throws SQLException{
    String a = "a";
    statement.execute("DELETE FROM Contact WHERE Lname = ('" + a + "')");
    System.out.println("deleted contact");
    Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

    1) Use prepared statement instead of statement.
    2) Do like this ...
    PreparedStatement prepStmt = null;
    try
         String query="INSERT INTO Contact_Sec (Sec_Lname,Sec_Fname) Values (?,?)");
         prepStmt = connection.prepareStatement(query);
         prepStmt.setString(1, value1);
         prepStmt.setString(2, value2);
         prepStmt.executeUpdate();
    catch (SQLException e)
         throw e;
    catch (Exception e)
         throw e;
    finally
         try
              if (prepStmt != null)
                   prepStmt.close();
         } catch (Exception e) {}
         try
              if (connection != null)
                   connection.close();
         } catch (Exception e) {}
    }3) If you still get the null exception then put step wise System.out's
    and debug it.

    any thoughts...

    please let me know if you have configured any RPS for the same.i faced a similar issue while i was trying to create an instance taken from oracle export dump taken from one of our client.our error got resolved when we changed the web profile to PROD. More often than not this is an issue with the webprofile. try changing the web profile one by one from dev to test to prod and kiosk.
    if none of these resolves the issue, try ruuning version app engine program. this will update the ppltools version. in correct version may also some times cause this issue.
    Please let me know if you have configured ldap.

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException when trying to start UM

    I get java.lang.NullPointerException when I try to start Unified Messaging using EM on a new Windows 2000 single-box installation. Has anyone enountered this problem?

    I have also encountered same issue. Please let me know the solution in case you find it.
    In fact after configuiring Oracle files as per the document provided at Oracle OTN site 'Collaboration handbook', I am unable to connect OID. As per log it says
    2003/04/01:20:37:58[Oidmon]: Unable to connect to database, will retry after 20 sec

    I checked Listener, which was found ok, then I checked TNSPING, which executed ok.
    I have dowloaded documents troubleshooting OID, but no success. The document itself says that architecture of OID is fairly complex and the log does not suggest much insight.
    Any solution?

    Hi Sireesha.
    This exception means that you don't have enough permissions to edit the master rule collection. Add your user to a super admin user group or, if it is not applicable due to your company policy, provide full control  rights (not only read/right).

    Why dont you try doing this from application.
    Enable the integrator 'Web ADI - Interface Columns Integrator' using below query :
    UPDATE bne.bne_integrators_b
    set enabled_flag = 'Y'
    where integrator_code = 'INTERFACE_COLS';
    commit;Next create a WEB ADI Form Function and do form function association. Then attach this form function to WEB ADI Menu and this integrator will be visible.
    Then call your custom integrator paiing application_id, interface_code and then populate the values/properties of individual column

  • Urgent - java.lang.NullPointerException when deploying a WAR file

    Hello
    I am trying to deploy a WAR file on 9iAS rel 2 using the Enterprise Manager. On the web page, I provide the .war file along with application name and url mapping. When I click on deploy, i get an error back which just says java.lang.NullPointerException. There is no stack trace.
    Until now, I have been working on my own PC using tomcat, and the war file works fine in tomcat.
    I am presuming that there will be a log file where more information will be available, but I do not know where the log file is kept. The Oracle 9iAS is installed on Solaris.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Jay

    Problem Solved
    The problem was the web.xml file which contained some elements that are only valid for servlet 2.4 (used on tomcat) but not on 2.2(used in oracle).

    Other times, it works fine. Anything I might have done wrong in installing this guy? Any thoughts?
    Thanks, Michael

    I'm agree ... His behavior is very strange.
    At the first time, I decompressed zip file into a new dir and at the first run I agreed to import setup from previous version. From the beginning the v2.1 worked wrong.
    After that, I removed all, new and previous versions. I deleted sqldeveloper folder and also service folder (under \Documents and Settings\...\Application data\...)
    Also I searched into registry ...
    Nothing to do ... also new installation hangs ...
    So, perhaps I have to wait new release ... (perhaps the exceptions or the environment conflict will be fixed).
    Thanks again.
    Regards.
    PS: Please, if you have other suggestions, let me know. Many Thanks.

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException when extending controller

    Hi,
    I am working in Oracle Internet expenses module. My requirement is to check 2 values in a page and if any of them is NULL, i need to throw an error message on the page. Code snippet in the extended controller is:
    (In the method 'processFormRequest')
    1 if("goto".equals(s) && "OIENavBar".equals(s1) && "ExpenseAllocationsPG".equals(s6))
    2 {
    3 if(NavigationUtility.isNextClicked(oapagecontext))
    4 {
    5 if (oapagecontext.getParameter("ProjectId").equals("null") || oapagecontext.getParameter"TaskId").equals("null"))
    6 {
    7 // my logic goes here
    8 }
    9 }
    10 }
    When I use this extended controller, I am getting java.lang.NullPointerException at the line 5. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong?
    Regards,
    Gowthami.

    Hi,
    Change the condition at line5 in the following way.
    5 if ((oapagecontext.getParameter("ProjectId") == null) || (oapagecontext.getParameter("TaskId") == null))

  • Java.lang.NullPointerException when attaching a custom LOV

    I've created a new LOV and import it. Then I've personalized an existing page by creating a new messageLovInput field and set its external LOV properties to my custom lov and definde the mapping. I get the following when calling my lov : "oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: java.lang.NullPointerException

    at oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAPageErrorHandler.prepareException(OAPageErrorHandler.java:1145)".

    Hi,
    I am trying to accomplish similar kind of thing i.e. dislaying custom LOV on iProc requisition checkout page...I'll appreciate if you can clarify me on the steps involved.
    I am confused if PERSONALIZATION can acheive this on its own or Jdev is needed aswell?
