Hi All,
I am trying to checkin a document through java code and following is my code part for the same( UCM 11g)
But whenever i run this code part, it throws the following exception

Can anyone help me with this?
Code part
private void checkinDoc()
File f=new File("D:/testfolder/BPEL.pdf");
System.out.println(" absolute path :"+f.getAbsolutePath());
String filePath = f.getAbsolutePath().replace("\\", "/");
checkedOutDataBinder.putLocal("IdcService", "CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL");
checkedOutDataBinder.putLocal("dDocTitle","test");
checkedOutDataBinder.putLocal("dDocAuthor", "weblogic");
checkedOutDataBinder.putLocal("dDocType","Document");
checkedOutDataBinder.putLocal("dSecurityGroup","public");
checkedOutDataBinder.putLocal("doFileCopy", "1");
checkedOutDataBinder.putLocal("primaryFile", filePath);
checkedOutDataBinder.putLocal("xCollectionID", "425180507509000004");
checkedOutDataBinder = executeService(checkedOutDataBinder,
"weblogic");
private DataBinder executeService(final DataBinder binder,
final String userName) throws DataException, ServiceException
// obtain a connection to the database
Workspace workspace = getSystemWorkspace();
// check for an IdcService value
String cmd = binder.getLocal("IdcService");
if (cmd == null)
throw new DataException("!csIdcServiceMissing");
// obtain the service definition
ServiceData serviceData = ServiceManager.getFullService(cmd);
if (serviceData == null)
throw new DataException(LocaleUtils.encodeMessage(
"!csNoServiceDefined", null, cmd));
// create the service object for this service
Service service = ServiceManager.createService(serviceData.m_classID,
workspace, null, binder, serviceData);
// obtain the full user data for this user
UserData fullUserData = getFullUserData(userName, service, workspace);
service.setUserData(fullUserData);
// binder.m_environment.put(REMOTE_USER, userName);
ServiceException error = null;
try
// init the service to not send HTML back
service.setSendFlags(true, true);
// create all the ServiceHandlers and implementors
service.initDelegatedObjects();
// do a security check
service.globalSecurityCheck();
// prepare for the service
service.preActions();
// execute the service
service.doActions();
// do any cleanup
service.postActions();
// store any new personalization data
// service.updateSubjectInformation(true);
//service.updateTopicInformation(binder);
catch (ServiceException e)
error = e;
e.printStackTrace();
finally
// Remove all the temp files.
service.cleanUp(true);
workspace.releaseConnection();
// handle any error
if (error != null)
// throw new ServiceException(error.m_errorCode, error
// .getMessage());
return binder;
}

I have been running into the same exception, albeit with UCM 10g:
Content item 'xxx' was not successfully checked in. Unable to execute service method 'populateMissingDocumentValues'. (System Error: Runtime error: java.lang.NullPointerException

it seems to have something to do with the xCollectionID.
If I don't set this, it works fine (checking in and out, checking in new revision). If I set it I can check in a new item using CHECKIN_NEW but I am unable to use CHECKIN_UNIVERSAL to check in a new revision.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
