Mike, Your confusion is understandable. A NullPointerException is a generic error (in a way) that is too specific - or perhaps I should say "symptomatic" instead of being "causal". It's rather like saying "the patient has a fever". Sure it's technically correct but it doesn't give you much more than that. Why does he have a fever? Is he in love? Does he have pneumonia? Dyspepsia? Was he bitten by Tse tse fly? You almost always have to dig a bit deeper to understand the source of this error. I've seen it cause by Javacasting, Db driver errors, the cfimage tag etc.

I dont use mappings so that rules that out. So I'll check all my CFC calls and see if that points me to it. Thanks. My confusion came because none of the googling i did led to that as the source. It's all about drivers and server versions and JVM etc. But none of the other sites on that same box exhibit the problem. If anyone has any other ideas as to what I can examine I'd be grateful.
