Hi, I have a relatively complex application that uses a Flex app as a front end. Recently, I have begun to see a spate of NullPointerExceptions being generated when methods are called from the Flex app. The calls are Flash/Flex Remoting calls, not directly to Blaze.
I have seen these on both CF8 and 9, although they seem more frequent on CF9. (I'm aware that CF9 uses Blaze under the hood for its Flash Remoting.) These errors are not consistent. They do not necessarily occur every time a method is fired. I have seen instances where the same method is called twice within a second, with the same parameters, and the first request generates a NullPointerException, while the second returns correctly. Sometimes, however, it seems as if a given method begins returning the exception in all cases. But the next day, the same method may work fine. The CF side uses Transfer and Coldspring. In both cases, I'm using the most recent stable release. For Transfer, that means 1.1g, which is built to work with CF9. Since the exceptions are pretty opaque (they only reference templates within the core CF files, not my application files), and the occurrence is inconsistent, I'm having a problem even guessing what might be going on. The best I can do is suppose that the problem is occurring within the gateway, since I've never had a problem calling the same methods via a .cfm page during testing. A few of the errors do suggest that the problem occurred during the gateway's serialization of an object; but many don't. Any thoughts would be very welcome at this point. I'll be happy to provide any further information that someone thinks might be helpful. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
