[dbforms] getTableId Null Pointer Exception

[Bill Tribley]

This is the same problem I had about 2 weeks ago, got busy after sending my 
configuration files into the list. No response came back to that config file request, 
so I assume that there was nothing wrong with the files.

I used devgui to auto-generate jsp for about 15 tables. The jsp looks fine. I have the 
same jar file for the MySQL database available to tomcat as is available to devgui. 
All the tables error out at this point:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:254)
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:295)
at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:241)

<stuff removed>

root cause 

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.dbforms.taglib.DbFormTag.setTableName(DbFormTag.java:300)
at 
org.apache.jsp.budget_raw_viewTable_jsp._jspService(budget_raw_viewTable_jsp.java:144)
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:137)
at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)

Note that it is not a configuration issue because config.getTableByName works. It is 
when the system attempts to get the table id that it fails. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bill
