Hi I tried to connect with MySQL from Java Webserver, it was connected and got interacted with MySQL thru my programs. No problem for this. When i tried the same with Apache i am getting the following error [18/04/2001 05:53:12:063] (ERROR) ajp12: Servlet Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: null [18/04/2001 05:53:12:063] (ERROR) an error returned handling request via protocol "ajpv12" I tried with default servlet zone and user created servlet zone also. In both cases i am getting the same error. My servlets and htmls are working fine with default and user defined alias/zones in Apache. I am getting the problem when i am connecting to Database (MySQL). My Operating System is Windows NT. I am using org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver to connect with MySQL from my program. Can any one send me the solution and reason why it is like this.
