Hi everybody,

I've been getting a persistent problem with our DSpace server that it 
produces only error messages for OAI-PMH harvesting. It's probably been 
going on since I upgraded to 1.4.1, but I didn't realise at the time and 
have only just got round to trying to sort it out. Whenever you access 
it (e.g. 
https://gate-test.library.lse.ac.uk/dspace-oai/request?verb=ListSets - 
I've set this up as a replacement for our advertised location, which is 
now behind the institutional firewall until I get it to work), you see a 
screen with a NullPointerException error, which appears in the logs as 
follows:

I've just completed upgrading to 1.4.2 to see if that sorted it, with no 
joy. So is there anything else that I could try?

Cheers,
Simon
