We're running Dspace version 1.7.2 and are receiving a null pointer error in the final submission step. I'm not sure how long this problem has been going on since most of our submissions come during the summer. It's possible that the problem began when we upgraded from version 1.6. Any ideas on what may be causing this would be most appreciated.
