log4j-caused NullPointerException
When I try to reload an application in Tomcat, I get the following error: log4j:ERROR Error occured while converting date. java.lang.NullPointerException: null array passed into arraycopy at java.lang.System.arraycopy(Ljava.lang.Object;ILjava.lang.Object;II)V(Unknown Source) at java.lang.AbstractStringBuilder.getChars(AbstractStringBuilder.java:331) at java.lang.StringBuffer.getChars(StringBuffer.java:202) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.ISO8601DateFormat.format(ISO8601DateFormat.java:128) at java.text.DateFormat.format(DateFormat.java:314) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.PatternParser$DatePatternConverter.convert(PatternParser.java:444) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.PatternConverter.format(PatternConverter.java:64) at org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout.format(PatternLayout.java:503) at org.apache.log4j.WriterAppender.subAppend(WriterAppender.java:301) at org.apache.log4j.WriterAppender.append(WriterAppender.java:159) at org.apache.log4j.AppenderSkeleton.doAppend(AppenderSkeleton.java:230) at org.apache.log4j.helpers.AppenderAttachableImpl.appendLoopOnAppenders(AppenderAttachableImpl.java:65) at org.apache.log4j.Category.callAppenders(Category.java:203) at org.apache.log4j.Category.forcedLog(Category.java:388) at org.apache.log4j.Category.log(Category.java:853) at org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.info(Log4JLogger.java:133) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log(ApplicationContext.java:638) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContextFacade.log(ApplicationContextFacade.java:249) at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader.initWebApplicationContext(ContextLoader.java:176) at org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener.contextInitialized(ContextLoaderListener.java:49) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:3727) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4162) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.reload(StandardContext.java:2988) at org.jstripe.tomcat.probe.controllers.ReloadContextController.executeAction(ReloadContextController.java:25) at org.jstripe.tomcat.probe.controllers.NoSelfContextHandlerController.handleContext(NoSelfContextHandlerController.java:34) at org.jstripe.tomcat.probe.controllers.ContextHandlerController.handleRequestInternal(ContextHandlerController.java:39) at org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.AbstractController.handleRequest(AbstractController.java:153) at org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter.handle(SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter.java:44) at org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doDispatch(DispatcherServlet.java:723) at org.jstripe.tomcat.probe.ProbeServlet.doDispatch(ProbeServlet.java:48) at org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doService(DispatcherServlet.java:663) This stacktrace is from a specific webapp (Lambda Probe), but I get similar errors with any webapp I try to reload via Tomcat Manager.

There is probably a problem with your config.

I've seen some surprising behavior during class reloading and it isn't an area that I have any experience with. If you do get an analysis, I would appreciate your giving us a heads up by posting the resolution back here. I did look at the code in question. If lastTimeString was somehow not initialized on class reload, then there could be a NPE on the call to getChars(). However, short of a some failure in the VM or a class reloading hack, I don't see how lastTimeString could be null. When you post to the tomcat list, please identify the version of log4j, tomcat and the Java VM and platform. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
