Ilfrin - Interesting, indeed. I was offered the same advice previously as well, and it didn't yield any results; the lack of other suggestions made me dig a little deeper and start to swap Tomcat/Cocoon/OS combos. :)
The common thread in failure was JDK 1.4.1, using the same implementation across every combination. This same implementation experiences no trouble if I simply run JDK 1.3.1. (The implemenation I speak of is the tutorial located on Matthew Langham's weblog, followed step for step.) -Brian Schwark [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: ilfrin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sat, 14 Dec 2002 00:37:30 +0100 Subject: Re: [SOLUTION] - NullPointerException with SunRise > Hi, > > 13 dec 2002, 22:25:29: > > BS> Hello everyone - > > BS> I hope this may help others out, and if anyone has any insight into > why > BS> sunRise may not "play nice" with JDK 1.4.1, it is welcomed. > Conversely, > BS> I would be interested to hear from people who have gotten sunRise > to > BS> run without any issues on JDK 1.4.1. > > well after a while spent on various searches (and researches) my gold > combination is (I work on WinXP Pro): > > 1.
