WEB UTIL error.

Question

Urgent help needed
I am using webutill. pll and trying to save a file to the client machine. I have configured webutil properly. I am also able to use CLIENT_GET_FILENAME to get the dialog box to select the filename. Now after selecting the file name i am trying to open the file to write the contents.
L_MYFILE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN(l_file_name, 'W'); where L_MYFILE is the file handler, and other variable to store filename
l_file_name VARCHAR2(500);
L_MYFILE CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
when i try to open i get this error.
WUC-15
extract from console follows
2006-Feb-09 19:09:13.490 ERROR>WUC-15 [FileFunctions.fopen()] Unexpected error, Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
2006-Feb-09 19:09:19.333 WUF[getProperty()] Value of WUF_TEXTIO_OPEN={NULL}
i am sure that my configuration is correct as it gives me dialog box to select the file name. after selecting the file name only when i try to open the file its failing.
Any help in this will be appreciated. U can also mail to me at [email protected]
