Hi, the code was working fine for years, so I had no idea that my use case is invalid. The same method was called once on new empty document (create) and once for existing document (update), where the xpath test had meaning. Nonetheless thank you for your explanation. I will add some kind of check, so it will not happen. Though I agree with you, that NPE is not good exception to throw. Regards Leos -------------------- JSI RYCHLEJŠÍ, NEŽ SI MYSLÍŠ.
