Axis2 1.5 + EclipseLink + Tomcat 6 = Exceptions, but only sometimes
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2-4389
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4389
Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.5
Environment: Windows XP SP3/Ubuntu 9.04 64bit server, Tomcat 6.0.x,
Eclipse 3.4.2, Axis 1.5
Reporter: Greg Logan
Priority: Blocker
>From the mailing list:
I'm having this weird problem when I try and use certain Axis2 web
services, but not others. What I'm trying to do is make a call, and
have the service return data from the DB using JPA queries via
Eclipselink. Unfortunately Axis appears to be throwing
NullPointerExceptions for some of the calls and I have no idea why.
I've attached the full exception text, but the top few lines are thus:
[ERROR] java.lang.NullPointerException
org.apache.axiom.om.OMException: java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.apache.axiom.om.impl.builder.StAXOMBuilder.next(StAXOMBuilder.java:260)
at org.apache.axiom.om.impl.llom.OMNodeImpl.build(OMNodeImpl.java:335)
which is generated in response to the function:
public Act[] getAllScenes(Common common) throws Exception {
//get the entity manager and begin a transaction
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
//Find the appropriate video
Episode ep = em.find(Episode.class, common.getVideoid());
...
//Get the list of acts in the video
List<Act> results = t.getScenes();
if (results == null) {
logger.debug("Error: No list of acts found");
return null;
}
//Sort them into the appropriate order and return
Act[] ary = new Act[results.size()];
results.toArray(ary);
Arrays.sort(ary);
em.close();
return ary;
}
I've tried playing the debug-statement game, and I found that the line
throwing the exception is sometime *after* the return statement -
everything else is valid, including the data being pulled from the DB.
On the flip side, I have a very similar function in a different service
(but still the same Eclipse project, persistence unit, build script and
deployed WAR file) which works fine for no apparent reason.
Is there something here that I'm doing wrong, or anything that stands
out? I've been blocked on this for a couple of days now and I would
really like to be able to make some progress again :)
