Torque

Question

Hi,
I am trying to use Torque to insert a new user to MySQL db but I always get the following exception:" java.sql.SQLException: The url cannot be null"
- This is the relevant part from web.xml file:
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>startserver</servlet-name>
  <display-name>StartServer</display-name>
  <servlet-class>com.StartServer</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
   <param-name>log4j-init-file</param-name>
   <param-value>WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
   <param-name> database-properties-file</param-name>
   <param-value>WEB-INF/classes/Torque.properties</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
   <param-name>debug</param-name>
   <param-value>2</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>- Here I trying to insert the user:
public class UserPeer
    extends com.base.BaseUserPeer
     static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(UserPeer.class.getName());
     public void saveUser(String userName ,String password){
          User user = new User();
          try {
               user.setUsername(userName);
               user.setPassword(password);
               UserPeer.doInsert(user);          
          } catch (TorqueException e1) {
               e1.printStackTrace();
}I hope the information here is helping to somebody to solve this mystery.
Thanks

My dear friend. The part which is throwing the exception is certainly hidden in those methods which you are invoking there. Are they perfect? I suppose not.
And anyway, without a proper torque wrench designed, it's bad to apply torque.
