PDFontDownloadContextCreate returns NULL in PDFL8 and PDFL9

Hi,
In PDFL7 we have a module which converts PDF 2 PS using the PDDocPrintPages( &client )
We have heavy usage of fonts so we try and minimelize font insersion using and manimulating the PDFontDownloadContext
ACCBPROTO1 ASBool CPDFConverter::PDFToPSEmitFont( ASStm stm, PDFont pdFont, PDPrintClient client, ASUns32 flags )
bRes = PDFontStreamPS( pdFont, stm, (PDFontDownloadContext)client->fontDownloadContext );
HOWEVER:
in PDFL8 and PDFL9
saveFontContext = PDFontDownloadContextCreate(&client);
returns NULL
//////////////// snippit ////////////////////////
PDPrintClientRec client;
memset(&client, 0, sizeof(client));
client.size = sizeof(client);
PDFontDownloadContext saveFontContext;
saveFontContext = PDFontDownloadContextCreate(&client);
OR:
client.fontDownloadContext = (void *) PDFontDownloadContextCreate(&client);
return NULL
//////////////// end snippit ////////////////////////
Is this a bug?
Has this feature been disabled?
If so, how come its open in the include files?
Please advise.
Thanks, Erez

Well I can't speak to PDFL9 yet since it has not yet been released or even publicly announced by Adobe yet, but the reason for 8 should account for 9 as well.
It is still in the PDFL so as not to break legacy workflows, basically. With the introduction of the AGM print engine in 8, the font download context is no longer used and so this method should always return NULL.
Probably best to wait for Leonard to confirm but that is the answer I was given when I first came across this issue a few months ago.

FindNode returning Null And XML Not Accepting Special Characters

Hi All,
i am trying the get the attribute value in the element "ns4:InfoCFDi" using FindNode method, but the method is returning NULL. I used the same code for other sample as well and was successfull. but for this specific XML file(which is below) I am getting a Null.
i can get till S:Body, but when i try to use FindNode for ":Body/s4:ResponseGeneraCFDi" I get Null value.
And I used "S:Body/*[local-name()=" | "ns4:ResponseGeneraCFDi" | "]";
as mentioned in other post but still no success.
==>I Have one more question relating to special characters. I need to use characters such as - ó in my XML to read as well as write. When I try to read i am getting XML parse error and when writing, i cannot open the file properly.
Your help is much appreciated.
My code is here:
Local XmlDoc &inXMLDoc, &reqxmldoc;
Local XmlNode &RecordNode;
&inXMLDoc = CreateXmlDoc();
&ret = &inXMLDoc.ParseXmlFromURL("D:\Agnel\Mexico Debit Memo\REALRESPONSE.xml");

First of all you have to supply a value you want to search for and this has to be the complete path to the value. You're saying you already tried that, but can you paste the code which you used for that? I don't see the path mentioned in the code you posted.
*FindNode*
Syntax
FindNode(Path)
Description
Use the FindNode method to return a reference to an XmlNode.
The path is specified as the list of tag names, to the node that you want to find, each separated by a slash (/).
Parameters
Path
Specify the tag names up to and including the name of the node that you want returned, starting with a slash and each separated by a slash (/). This is known as the XPath query language.>
Another option would be this snippet of code:
&InfoCFDiArray = GetElementsByTagName("ns4:InfoCFDi");
&InfoCFDiNode = &InfoCFDiArray [1];
&attValue = &InfoCFDiNode.GetAttributeValue("noCertificadoSAT")
Warning(&attValue);
It creates an array of XML Nodes which match the name "ns4:InfoCFDi". Since there's only one in the XML it's safe to assume it will be the one and only node in the array. I've assigned that node to the variable &InfoCFDiNode and use that to retrieve the attribute "noCertificadoSAT" value. The warning message should display the value supplied there.
Concering the special characters; you will have to change the encoding of the XML. Peoplecode sets this to UTF-8 by default, but doesn't include this in the header. There's a little hack for that somewhere on the web, I'll see if I can find it.

Kff.where returns 'null' and causes sql error - looking for a work around

Hello,
I am using BI 5.6.3 in EBS (11.5.10.2)
I have created a kff.where as follows:
<lexical
type="oracle.apps.fnd.flex.kff.where"
name="lp_location_where_clause"
comment="Comment"
application_short_name="OFA"
id_flex_code="LOC#"
id_flex_num=":lp_location_flex_structure"
code_combination_table_alias="loc"
segments="ALL"
operator="BETWEEN"
operand1=":p_location_low"
operand2=":p_location_high"/>
</lexicals>
Everything works fine, as long as I have a values for the p_location_low and p_location_high. However, this is a parameter that comes in from a concurrent program and is optional. When the user doesn't pick a value, :p_location_low is the concatenated delimiters for the location '..'.
When this runs, the kff.where is returning null which causes 'Invalid Relational Operation error' because 'AND null' is not valid.
Warning in the log is :[091910_025232517][][STATEMENT] !!Warning: FlexAPI returns null for 'x_where_expression' lexical definition...
Does anyone have a workaround for this since making the parameter required is not an option for my users?
Thanks for reading.

In your SQL*Plus session, make sure you
SQL> set define offbefore trying to create the Java stored procedure. SQL*Plus assumes that any string that begins with an & is a substitution variable unless you tell it that you have no substitution variables (via set define off).

HelpSet.findHelpSet() returns null, and trapping ID errors

I was having a problem initializing JavaHelp. HelpSet.findHelpSet() was returning null. I searched the forum, and found it was a common problem, but the answers were unhelpful. The answers pointed to a problem with CLASSPATH, but offered little in the way of advice for a newbie like myself on how to deal with it.
A second issue concerns HelpBroker.enableHelpOnButton(). If you feed it a bogus ID, it throws an exception, and there's no way to trap it and fail gracefully. JHUG doesn't provide much in the way of alternatives.
Now, having done a bit of research and testing, I'm willing to share a cookbook formula for what worked for me.
I'm working in a project directory that contains MyApp.jar and the Help subdirectory, including Help/Help.hs. My first step is to copy jh.jar to the project directory.
Next, in the manifest file used to generate MyApp.jar, I add the line:
    Class-Path: jh.jar Help/I'm working with Eclipse, so in Eclipse, I use Project - Properties - Java Build Path - Libraries to add JAR file jh.jar, and Class Folder Tony/Help
I define the following convenience class:
public class HelpAction extends AbstractAction
    private static HelpBroker helpBroker = null;
    private String label = null;
    public HelpAction( String name, String label )
        super( name );
        this.label = label;
    public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event )
        displayHelp( label );
    public static boolean displayHelp( String label )
        if ( helpBroker == null )
            Utils.reportError( "Help package not initialized!" );
            return false;
        try
            helpBroker.setCurrentID( label );
            helpBroker.setDisplayed( true );
            return true;
        catch ( Exception e )
            Utils.reportError( e, "Help for " + label + " not found" );
            return false;
    public static boolean initialize( String hsName )
        URL hsURL = HelpSet.findHelpSet( null, hsName );
        if ( hsURL == null )
            Utils.reportError( "Can't find helpset " + hsName );
            return false;
        try
            HelpSet helpSet = new HelpSet( null, hsURL );
            helpBroker = helpSet.createHelpBroker();
        catch ( HelpSetException e )
            Utils.reportError( e, "Can't open helpset " + hsName );
            return false;
        return true;
}If you use this class in your own code, you'll want to replace Utils.reportError() with something of your own devising.
Finally, in my GUI class, I use the following:
    JPanel panel = ...
    JMenu menu = ...
    JToolbar toolbar = ...
    HelpAction.initialize( "Help.hs" )
    Action gsAction = new HelpAction( "Getting Started Guide", "gs.top" );
    menu.add( gsAction );
    JButton helpButton = new HelpAction( "Help", "man.top" );
    toolbar.add( helpButton );
    InputMap imap = panel.getInputMap( JComponent.WHEN_ANCESTOR_OF_FOCUSED_COMPONENT );
    imap.put( KeyStroke.getKeyStroke( "F1" ), "F1help" );
    ActionMap amap = panel.getActionMap();
    amap.put( "F1help", new HelpAction( null, "man.top" ) );

Sorry, the sixth-from-last line of my example should read,
    JButton helpButton = new JButton( new HelpAction( "Help", "man.top" ) );

Get textFrame by label returns null and anchored objects

I have the following two functions:
function getByLabel(page, label)
    for(var i=0; i < page.allPageItems.length; i++)
        if( page.allPageItems[i].label == label )
            return page.allPageItems[i];
and
Object.prototype.findItems = function(/*obj*/props)
    if( !('everyItem' in this) )
        throw new Error("Error: " + this + " is not a collection.");
    var ret = this.everyItem().getElements(),
        i = ret.length,
        e, p;
    while( i-- && e=ret[i] )
        for( p in props )
            if( (p in e) && e[p]===props[p] ) continue;
            ret.splice(i,1);
    return ret;
In my page structure, I got one main text frame (the content area) and two vertical text fromes on the sides of the page. There is also a small box textframe on top of the page. All these textboxes EXCEPT the main text frame are ALL "ANCHORED objects". I had to make them anchored objects, eitherwise after importing data, the boxes would jump around. (Example, the small box textframe that is on the top would get moved to the content area textframe etc). Not sure if using anchored objects is the proper way to fix this.
When I try to get the small box text frame, it does not work using the findItems (returns null) but it works fine with the getByLabel method. Why is that?
The calling syntax is:
for( i=0 ; i < doc.pages.length ; ++i )
        var page = doc.pages.item(i);
        var textFrame = getByLabel(page, 'lblSection' ); //This works
        //   var textFrame = page.textFrames.findItems({ label: 'lblSection' })[0]; This does not work, returns null
        if( textFrame != null )
            textFrame.parentStory.contents = "";

    var d;
    try {
        d = app.activeScript.parent.parent.fsName;

        d = Folder.appPackage.parent.fsName+"/Scripts";

I am trying to raise event at UserControl, and catch it at Main program, But the event always return null

I am trying to raise a event in one of classes of userControl, and Fire it in the Main class. I tried two different ways to fire this event, one of them works, But I still want to know why other way cannot work, and how to fix it.
My userContol class:
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
public UserControl1()
InitializeComponent();
if (System.ComponentModel.DesignerProperties.GetIsInDesignMode(this))
return;
Class1 c = new Class1();
Thread accept = new Thread(
() =>
c.connection();
accept.Start();
And the Class1:
public class Class1
public delegate void myhandler(object sender, EventArgs e);
public event myhandler test;
public Class1()
public void connection()
test(this, new EventArgs());
In the Main, I just simply add into referent, and add
xmlns:my="clr-namespace:WpfControlLibrary1;assembly=WpfControlLibrary1"
then I try to subscribe this event in the main
public partial class SurfaceWindow1 : SurfaceWindow
/// <summary>
/// Default constructor.
/// </summary>
public SurfaceWindow1()
InitializeComponent();
Class1 c = new Class1();
c.test+=new Class1.myhandler(c_test);
// Add handlers for window availability events
AddWindowAvailabilityHandlers();
public void c_test(object sender, EventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show("fire");
If I only raise this event not into thread, it works fine, but If I try to let it raise in this thread, this test event only return null, and shows:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
looks like I did not subscribe it ever. So How to fix it if I must use it in thread.

Subscribing to events window to class is not a great approach.
You have to then go un subscribe those handlers in order to allow your instance to be disposed.
Forget that and you'll eventually notice you have memory leaks.
The way I do this sort of thing is using mvvm light messenger.
You can keep everything decoupled then.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/26070.aspx
I just did a bit of code for someone else which shows how to do cross thread stuff with this approach.
public partial class MainWindow : Window
public MainWindow()
InitializeComponent();
Messenger.Default.Register<String>(this, (action) => ReceiveString(action));
private void ReceiveString(string msg)
MessageBox.Show(msg);
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)delegate()
tb.Text = msg;
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
Task.Factory.StartNew(() => {
Messenger.Default.Send<String>("Hello World");
Note that the message arrives on the thread it was sent from. That's not the ui thread because it was sent from that task.factory.startnew to deliberately put it on a different thread.
In order to change UI controls, it uses dispatcher.begininvoke to run code on the UI thread.
Although this is in one piece of code behind publisher and subscriber can be in two totally different classes which have no reference of knowledge of each other.
Meaning you can send a message<t> from any class1 or whatever you like and your mainwindow can subscribe and act of receipt of a message<t>.
It is the type which defines which message one is. You put data you want to send in t and use it in the subscriber.
Hope that helps.

Dependency Injection and Target Unreachable returned null

Hello
I have tried a simple code in jsf 2.
This is it
following is jsp
<h:form>
<h:inputText value="#{MBTest.thePerson.name}"/>
<h:commandButton value="submit" action="#{MBTest.action}"/>
<h:messages/>
</h:form>
following is Managed bean MBTest
@ManagedBean(name="MBTest")
@RequestScoped
public class MBTest {
@ManagedProperty (value="#{thePerson}")
private Person thePerson = null;
public MBTest() {
public Person getThePerson() {
return thePerson;
public void setThePerson(Person thePerson) {
this.thePerson = thePerson;
public void action() {
System.out.println(thePerson.getName());
following is Person class
public class Person {
private String name = null;
private int age = 0;
public int getAge() {
return age;
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
public String getName() {
return name;
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
But once this executed the page displays (please note that 'thePerson' instance of managed bean is not instantiated, just the managed property has been declared). When the button is pressed it gives me the followuing error
/index.xhtml @12,60 value="#{MBTest.thePerson.name}": Target Unreachable, 'thePerson' returned null
Could you please tell me why?
Off the topic :
Where is the code tags? I can't find it here.

as far as I can see, your Person class is not a managed bean. I would expect an annotation @ManagedBean(name="thePerson") on it. If you don't make it a managed bean, JSF does not know it exists.
If you don't want person to be a managed bean, then simply create an instance yourself in your MBTest class.
private Person thePerson = new Person();

EjbFindByPrimaryKey returns null

Hello,
We are writing an BMP in 6.1 SP 2. The ejbLoad perfectly loads the data.
From the Remote using the getPrimaryKey() to get the PrimaryKey. That key
is passed to the findByPrimaryKey(PK) call. But, it returns the following.
I have the db-is-shared to false in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. It looks like it
is returning null and I don't understand why it is doing like this. Whether
it is because, it is not able to find the object through the
findByPrimaryKey or I am making any mistakes.
I even system.out.println inside the ejbFindByPrimaryKey and the key is not
null, it is having the value. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sentence fragments.
Missing predicates.
It's a bit hard trying to understand your questions.
In BMP you write the ejbFindByPrimaryKey method. Your job in that method is
to verify that it exists in the DB and throw an ObjectNotFoundException if
not. You return the valid PK (the one passed in) if it does exist. So, what
exactly is returning null?

Why does getParameter("uri") returns null ???

Hi !
JAVA can be rather frustrating and I have run of of dukes. How about IOU ?
Unfortunately none of the previous questions in the db shed light on my problem.
I am trying to get at the "uri" and I have the following code fragment :
package com.developer;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
public class proptest extends HttpServlet
public void doGet( HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
    throws ServletException, IOException
    PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
    out.println("Parameter Name: " + req.getParameter("uri"));
public void init() throws ServletException
    // initialie the servlet here. Use ServletConfig object to get
    //    initialization parameters...
    ServletConfig config = getServletConfig();
    // ... more stuff ...
}

Hi!
In case anyone stumbles upon this in the database, I worked aroung it by using req.getRequestURI().
However I still do not know why getParameter() returns null. It would be useful e.g. if you want to display a list of all request params e.g.:
// stub code follows...
java.util.Enumeration enum = rea.getParameterNames();
while (enum.hasMoreElements())
String name = (String) enum.nextElement();
System.out.println("Parameter "+name + " " + req.getParameter(name))
...For me, nope, all nulls. If it works for you , do tell me.
Also if you look at the "bugs db" there seems to be a number of issues concerning getParameter().

Why ResultSet getDate() method returns null when querying .csv file?

Here is the full code:
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Types;
import java.sql.Date;
import myjava.support.CachedRowSetMaker;
import javax.sql.rowset.CachedRowSet;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
class jdbc2{
final private String s1="SELECT top 10 [DATE], [ADJ CLOSE] FROM [vwo-1.csv]";
private ResultSet result=null;
private Connection conn=null;
public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException{
jdbc2 db=new jdbc2();
try {
          Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
          db.conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:STOCK_DATA");
          PreparedStatement sql=db.conn.prepareStatement(db.s1);
          db.result=sql.executeQuery();
// check column names and types using the ResultSetMetaData object.
          ResultSetMetaData metaData = db.result.getMetaData();
     System.out.println("Table Name : " + metaData.getTableName(2));
     System.out.println("Field\t\tDataType");
     for (int i = 0; i < metaData.getColumnCount(); i++) {
     System.out.print(metaData.getColumnName(i + 1) + "\t");
     System.out.println(metaData.getColumnTypeName(i+1));
     System.out.print(metaData.getColumnName(1) + "\t"+metaData.getColumnName(2)+"\n");
          while (db.result.next()){
               System.out.print(db.result.getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance()));
               System.out.format("\t%,.2f\n", db.result.getFloat("Adj Close"));
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
     finally {
          db.result.close();
          db.conn.close();
Everything works well, until getting to the block
          while (db.result.next()){
               System.out.print(db.result.getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance()));
               System.out.format("\t%,.2f\n", db.result.getFloat("Adj Close"));
The getDate("DATE", Calendar.getInstance())); always returns null, instead of the date value in the vwo-1.csv.
Even though I change it to
java.sql.Date d=db.result.getDate("DATE") and convert to String using .toString(), I still gets nulls. The dollar amount in "Adj Close" field is fine, no problem.
The .csv fils is downloaded from YahooFinace.
Can anyone review the code and shed some light as to what I did wrong?
Thanks alot.

Why getResource of jar in classpath returns null?

When i iterate through the jars in the classpath and try to turn them into URL's via the getResources(), they all return null. What am I doing wrong?
(NOTE: It does print out the classpath properly when i print that out)
String classPath = System.getProperty( "java.class.path" );
String delim = System.getProperty( "path.separator" );
String[] locations = classPath.split( delim );
for ( int i = 0; i < locations.length; i++ )
      /* ** It doesn't work with either of these statments: ** */
      //This one tries the full path (e.g. /home/me/test/some.jar)
      //Enumeration en = getClass().getClassLoader().getResources( locations[ i ].substring( locations[ i ] );
      //This one tries to use just the local name of the jar (e.g. test.jar)
      Enumeration en = getClass().getClassLoader().getResources( locations[ i ].substring( locations[ i ].lastIndexOf( '/' ) + 1 ) );
      //This just prints null
      while ( en.hasMoreElements(); ) System.out.println( en.nextElement() );

What you are doing doesn't make sense. The resource locations within a JAR file are relative to the package directory structure within the JAR file, not to its own absolute location on the disk. And you seem to be expecting to retrieve a JAR file from within a JAR file. This makes no sense either.

Request.getCookies() returns null, not 0 length array

(reposted from J2EE forum)
Just upgraded to 9ias with Embedded OC4J and we were getting a NullPointerException.
Our previous calls to request.getCookies() AKA http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.1/api/javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.html#getCookies()
would return an an array of Cookie Objects or an array of zero length if there are no cookies.
When we upgraded to 9ias, we got the NPE.
Know why?
OC4J implementation of HttpServletRequest doesn't return a zero length array, it returns a null object when there are no cookies!!!
So we had to change our code to catch this.
Not a big problem, and it's fixed now, but it was a problem nonetheless.
Any reason/rationale for why this was done this way? Anyone? Bueller?

Josh,
According to Servlet Spec 2.3 (page 193) SRV 15.1.3.2 Methods for (HttpServletRequest SRV.15.1.3) getCookies() returns null if no cookies present. So we are compliant to the spec.
regards
Debu Panda
Oracle That's strange that the NPE problem didn't occurr until deleting cookies on OC4J, then.
Thanks for responding!

Need Help :: Current row attribute value returning null

Hi Frds,
I am facing the problem that
Current row attribute value returning null............ even though value is there..... plz.. he
This is the code in PFR

    String pPersonId = pageContext.getParameter("ctrlPersonId");
     String rowReference = pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_SOURCE_ROW_REFERENCE);
     OptionsVORowImpl curRow = (     OptionsVORowImpl) am.findRowByRef(rowReference);
    String dtlsItem = (String)curRow.getFlexValue();   /* this is returning null value */
/* here creating the hashmap and calling the page with the hashmap*/
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Jaya,
You want to catch Flexfield values?
Try below code for catch value.
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
if (pageContext.getParameter("queryBtn")!= null)
OADescriptiveFlexBean dfb = (OADescriptiveFlexBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("flexDFF"); //get the DFF bean
OAWebBean dffbean = (OAWebBean)dfb.findChildRecursive("flexDFF0"); //get the field that applies to the attribute1 column that is being rendered
OAMessageStyledTextBean Stylebean = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)dffbean;
String dtlsItem = (String)Stylebean.getText(pageContext);
/* here creating the hashmap and calling the page with the hashmap*/
Thanks,
Dilip

A getName method allways returns null, why?

I have an
ArrayList<Animals> array_list = new ArrayList<Animals>();
LinkedList<Animals> linked_list = new LinkedList<Animals>();
I want the getName() method in class NewListener to be accessed from the class NextListener which extends NewListener, and therefor should get access to the method. But when I run the program, it allways returns null. Why?
class NewListener implements ActionListener
          public String name;
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
               String str_name = showInputDialog(this,"Animal name: ",null);
               if(str_name == null)
                    return;
               for(int i=0; i<array_list.size(); i++)
                    if(array_list.get(i).getName().equalsIgnoreCase(str_name))
                         setName(str_name);                   // set the name with the setName() method
                         linked_list.add(array_list.get(i));
          public void setName(String name)
               this.name=name;
          public String getName()
               return name;        // this line returns "null"
                     // return "Hello";    // this line works and returns "Hello"
     class NextListener extends NewListener implements ActionListener
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
               try
                    linked_list .removeFirst();
               }catch(NoSuchElementException er)
                    System.out.println("Numerical value");
               String info = getName()+" is in line";   // Why does the getName() method in the NewListener allways return a null?
               showMessageDialog(this, info, "Notice", INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
     }{code}

Ok, I changed the name to private and I also tried with
public void setName(String name)
System.out.println("setting name on " + this + " to " + name); // <--- ADD THIS LINE
this.name=name;
}and it works. So this.name SHOULD get the value of name, but it doesn�t.
So the question is: why does getName() return null?Your code is doing exactly what you're telling it to do. One or more of your assumptions is wrong. Keep digging. Add more print statements.
Above all, you must drop the attitude that "it should work." There's a bug in your code. You have to find it. Repeating the mantra "It should work" is simply going to put blinders on and make it almost impossible to find your error. Instead, you have to think, "What did I do wrong?" and "If getName is returning null, then setName was never called or was called with null."

MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null) returns null.. why?

Hello
I have seen lot of posts regarding this but no clear reason why this would happen. My server runs under Tomcat 6.0.33. In a spearate thread, I try to get MessageBroker msgBroker = MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null); but it always returns null. In my web.xml, there is a valid servlet MessageBrokerServlet with load-on-startup = 1. In one of the posts Rohit suggested copy jta.jar to tomcat libs but it doesnot help either. I tried to wait 30 secs or so in my thread before invoking MessageBroker.getMessageBroker(null) and also tried to set param-name messageBrokerId in web.xml, but none seems to help.. please help...
Also tried MessageBroker broker = FlexContext.getMessageBroker() in the init() of my Servlet but it is also null.
thanks
Rupak
Message was edited by: RupakKhurana

It is resolved now. Upon careful examination of the log, I found that the MessageBrokerServlet was indeed throwing an exception due to a wrong tag being used in messaging-config.xml file..
