Hi, I am developing in Netbeans and need to provide our customer APIs a "base" XMLBean library (for example sake, call it "baseschemas.jar". This base library will be used to support different vendors the ability to build their own customized XMLBean objects.
In my testing, I have created a XMLBean library called Vendor1 (vendor1.jar). In vendor1.jar, I have Class B which contains a class member, Class A, defined in baseschemas.jar. The Vendor1 Netbeans project module compiles with no problems (baseschemas.jar is a lib dependency). However, in my Netbeans app at runtime, when Class B attempts to access Class A (getClassA), a null pointer exception occurs: java.lang.NullPointerException<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/NullPointerException.html> at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.schema.SchemaPropertyImpl.getType(SchemaPropertyImpl.java:92) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.schema.SchemaTypeImpl.createElementType(SchemaTypeImpl.java:965) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.values.XmlObjectBase.create_element_user(XmlObjectBase.java:924) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Xobj.getUser(Xobj.java:1669) at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Xobj.find_element_user(Xobj.java:2074) at vendors1.impl.ClassBImpl.getClassA(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.CachedMethod.invoke(CachedMethod.java:88) at groovy.lang.MetaMethod.doMethodInvoke(MetaMethod.java:233) at groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl$GetBeanMethodMetaProperty.getProperty(MetaClassImpl.java:3460) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.GetEffectivePojoPropertySite.getProperty(GetEffectivePojoPropertySite.java:61) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.callGetProperty(AbstractCallSite.java:237) at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.callGetPropertySafe(AbstractCallSite.java:343) I have tried using XMLBeans 2.4 and 2.5 and the same result occurs. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks!
