My application is fairly regularly throwing two kinds of exception. Fairly regularly as in about 5 of each every 7000 page views.
I don't know if this is to be expected, blaming it on the vagaries of the web ?! I have the servlet called initially, this does the logic then I use a RequetDispatcher to utilise a JSP for formatting. Both exceptions occur at the RequsetDispatcher.forward(request,response) line. The exception is either 1/ NullPointer: either the request or response is null (since the dispatcher itself is only created on the preceding line!). The request and response are wrapped in the session for easy transport through the various methods, only thing I can think of is the session is getting invalidated, but the timeout is 15 minutes! I was going to remove the session transporting approach and see if it helped. 2/ IllegalStateException: I know you can't commit any response or even get an OutputStream. I don't!! No idea how this can happen, totally flummoxed! -- Mike W ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
