Current I'm in the midst of a puzzler. I have an image processing routine set
up to run as a scheduled task. When the .cfm page is initiated from a web
browser the page complete just fine. However, when the page is started as part
of a scheduled tasks it creates errors in the log file stating there has been
java.lang.NullPointerException.
Looking at the error log and doing some investigating signs point to an
ExpandPath() statement causing the problem (and yes, blah is always more than
two characters - again, it'll run just fine through the same data from the URL
as it errors on when run as a scheduled task):
<cfset myDir = ExpandPath('/images/subDir/#left(blah,2)#/#blah#/') />
The full exception entry is below. Has anyone seen this before and, more
importantly, have an idea on how to fix it (other than hard coding path values
to the variable)?
"Error","jrpp-444","10/20/09","00:21:28","myapp","'' The specific sequence of
files included or processed is: D:\mysite\public\sandbox\myfile.cfm, line: 149 "
