=================================================================
>From the source code debugging I figured out that the exception is happening
>on the following line in the
>org.apache.axis2.deployment.util.Utils.loadHandler method...
=========================================
if(handlerClass.getPackage().getName().equals("org.apache.axis2.engine")){
String name = handlerClass.getName();
log.warn("Dispatcher " + name + " is now deprecated.");
if(name.indexOf("InstanceDispatcher")!=-1) {
log.warn("Please remove the entry for " +
handlerClass.getName() + "from axis2.xml");
} else {
log.warn("Please edit axis2.xml " +
"and replace with the same class in
org.apache.axis2.dispatchers package");
}
}
==============================================
The "getPackage" call in the "if" statement's condition can return null when
the java.lang.Package object is not created by the class loader. This situation
is valid as stated in this methods contract.
This is what exactly happens in case of CLIF class loader. Hence the null
pointer exception. So check has to be introduced to validate the condition.
