jsp to email problem on Tomcat

[Ian Corner]

Hi I am not sure where the problem lies but I just want to see if the error I am getting could be anything to do with Tomcat.   Here is the error report. Any help appreciated:   Error: 500 Location: /examples/jsp/formsMail/mailsend.jsp Internal Servlet Error: javax.servlet.ServletException at org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageContextImpl.java) at jsp.f_00025rmsMail._0002fjsp_0002fformsMail_0002fmailsend_0002ejspmailsend_jsp_9._jspService(_0002fjsp_0002fformsMail_0002fmailsend_0002ejspmailsend_jsp_9.java:107) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServlet.java) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) Root cause: java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.checkAscii(MimeUtility.java:877) at javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.encodeWord(MimeUtility.java:503) at javax.mail.internet.MimeUtility.encodeText(MimeUtility.java:337) at javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage.setSubject(MimeMessage.java:541) at javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage.setSubject(MimeMessage.java:507) at jsp.f_00025rmsMail._0002fjsp_0002fformsMail_0002fmailsend_0002ejspmailsend_jsp_9._jspService(_0002fjsp_0002fformsMail_0002fmailsend_0002ejspmailsend_jsp_9.java:81) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet$JspServletWrapper.service(JspServlet.java) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.doService(ServletWrapper.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.Handler.service(Handler.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.service(ServletWrapper.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.internalService(ContextManager.java) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpConnectionHandler.java) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) Thanks Ian
