I have found an error in the web.xml file, however, this DID NOT fix the
problem. Inside the web.xml file, there is the following snippet:
<init-param>
<description>
Default field used in standard Lucene QueryParser used
in UserQuery
tag</description>
<param-name>defaultStandardQueryParserField</param-name>
<param-value>jobDescription</param-value>
</init-param>
the <param-value> here should be IMHO "description", as neither the
query.xsl file, nor index.jsp file contain any tags/values called
"jobDescription", only "description". I hope the contributors to the Lucene
project take note of this, or please show me the error of my ways. Having
said that, as I mentioned earlier, despite making this correction, I am
still getting the above "NullPointerException". Can anyone see where I am
going wrong?
Thanks again to all who reply.
Sincerely;
Fayyaz
