Hi, I think root is null or the element has no content ... and you have to find out why.
First NPE: ================ Document doc = builder.parse(input); Element root = doc.getDocumentElement(); Second (and the same) NPE: ================= Element element = doc.createElement("Policy"); Role.setPolicy(element); I think you create an empty element an so you have the same effect as above. debug your code ...
