I parse(using DOMParser) a huge XML (about 20 KB) in to DOM and serialize it to print the XML out of it , repeatedly. My system does the job as expected over a number of times(up to 6 times run continuously) and then hangs ending up with a Null pointer Exception as described below.
java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredDocumentImpl.synchronizeChildren(DeferredDocum entImpl.java:1218) at org.apache.xerces.dom.NodeImpl.getChildNodes(NodeImpl.java:520) To my knowledge this is because JVM HotSpot interferes with Xerces when we try to parse huge xml files repeatedly. I am using : Xerces1.4.3 on Java 2 platform. Have you guys come across this situation. I would really appreciate any ideas about the solution to this problem. I apologize if this mail went in to wrong mailing list.
