I have a web application that uses commons XML (xml-apis-1.3.03.jar). The usage of javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance() works fine in the Eclipse debugger, but when the code is packaged into a WAR and deployed to Tomcat, I get a NullPointerException when javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance() is called:
java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryFinder._newFactory(XPathFactoryFinder.java:222) at javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryFinder.newFactory(XPathFactoryFinder.java:143) at javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance(XPathFactory.java:185) at javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance(XPathFactory.java:99) at com.myorg.myapp.ws.notification.impl.ExtnMessagePatternFilter.accepts(ExtnMessagePatternFilter.java:69) at org.apache.muse.ws.notification.impl.FilterCollection.accepts(FilterCollection.java:64) at com.myorg.myapp.ws.notification.impl.BufferedSubscriptionManager.publish(BufferedSubscriptionManager.java:73) at com.myorg.myapp.ws.notification.impl.NewsNotificationProducer.publish(NewsNotificationProducer.java:38) at org.apache.muse.ws.notification.impl.SimpleNotificationProducer.publish(SimpleNotificationProducer.java:420) at com.myorg.myapp.ws.handler.DDSHandler.run(DDSHandler.java:304) at com.myorg.commons.util.reactor.ReactorAdapter.run(ReactorAdapter.java:19) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:885) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:907) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) Any idea what might be going wrong here?
