Hi, Has anyone had any problems with the combination of javamail and apache jserv? The situation is this : Configuration 1 : Apache 1.3.9 i386, Apache JServ 1.1b3, Javamail 1.1.3, JDK 1.1.7, Debian/GNU Linux Configuration 2 : Apache 1.3.9 Alpha, Apache JServ 1.1final, Javamail 1.1.3, JDK 1.1.6-2, DEC osf1 Example a : Command line javamail tool, uses mail.jar, activation.jar Example b : Servlet, uses all the normal servlet classes Example c : Servlet that does mail things, uses both the above class sets. Has anyone got any idea why, although all three work on the intel setup, and the first two on the Alpha, the mail servlet throws a null pointer exception when running on the alpha? The trace from the jserv log is : [01/03/2000 10:14:53:271 GMT] java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.zip.ZipFile.read(Compiled Code) at java.util.zip.ZipFileInputStream.read(Compiled Code) at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.fill(Compiled Code) at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(Compiled Code) at java.util.zip.InflaterInputStream.read(Compiled Code) at com.sun.mail.util.LineInputStream.readLine(Compiled Code) at javax.mail.Session.loadProvidersFromStream(Compiled Code) at javax.mail.Session.loadProviders(Compiled Code) at javax.mail.Session.<init>(Compiled Code) at javax.mail.Session.getDefaultInstance(Compiled Code) at EmailSubmission.doPost(Compiled Code) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(Compiled Code) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.processRequest(Compiled Code) at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.run(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java) The servlet that causes this is fairly trivial, source code is online at : http://rhuidean.ebi.ac.uk:8080/~tmo/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/SPIN The file is EmailPassword.java. I'd be very grateful if anyone can shed any light on this; I could understand if either javamail or servlets didn't work on Alpha (these things happen), but that they only fail in conjunction is somewhat strange.
