When I turn on -validateXML, I get a NullPointerException at Orion startup. If I remove my datasources from data-sources.xml, the error goes away. Any suggestions? Here is the stack trace: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.evermind.server.deployment.EnterpriseArchive.ajv(JAX) at com.evermind.server.deployment.EnterpriseArchive.bx(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.bs(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.ServerComponent.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.XMLApplicationServerConfig.ak9(JAX) at com.evermind.server.XMLApplicationServerConfig.by(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.xml.XMLConfig.ay(JAX) at com.evermind.server.hc.run(JAX) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) at com.evermind.util.f.run(JAX) Dave Ford Smart Soft - The Java Training Company http://www.SmartSoftTraining.com
