Hello,
I work for Software AG Spain, I have been stuck with an untractable NullPointerException for over a week and I would be immensely grateful for some help.
My environment is as follows:
-JDK 1.4.2
-Jakarta Tomcat 5.0.19
-Java Server Faces 1.0
-Tamino 4.1.4.1
I have a com.softwareag.tamino.db.API.response.TResponse object in my code that gives me this NullPointerException. I know for a fact that the object itself is not null (that would be too easy) as I have a test (assert response!= null;) that proves that. Rather it must be one of the variables of that object that is null and I can’t pinpoint which.
This behavior happens only once in two times.
I have included with this post the sources for my project (I have replaced the jars with empty files).
Here is the exception printed on the console:
