I am doing the examples from the book: "Core Servlets and Java Server Pages" by Marty Hall, published by Sun. The code being used is from Listing 4.3, ProtectedPage.java, p110. I am running iPlanet 4.1 SP7/jdk 1.3.1 on an NT box. The code compiles properly with no errors. However, at runtime, I get the following from iPlanet:*********************************************************************** [03/Oct/2001:11:37:16] info ( 559): Internal Info: loading servlet /servlet/Test.ProtectedPage [03/Oct/2001:11:37:16] info ( 559): /servlet/Test.ProtectedPage: init [03/Oct/2001:11:37:16] failure ( 559): Internal error: unexpected exception thrown from the servlet init function (servlet class=Test.ProtectedPage): java.lang.NullPointerException, Stack: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method) at java.io.FileInputStream.(FileInputStream.java:64) at Test.ProtectedPage.init(ProtectedPage.java:20) at com.netscape.server.http.servlet.NSServletEntity.load(NSServletEntity.java:377) at com.netscape.server.http.servlet.NSServletEntity.update(NSServletEntity.java:149) at com.netscape.server.http.servlet.NSServletRunner.Service(NSServletRunner.java:469) [03/Oct/2001:11:37:16] warning ( 559): Internal error: Failed to get GenericServlet. (uri=/servlet/Test.ProtectedPage,SCRIPT_NAME=/servlet/Test.ProtectedPage) ****************************************************************
If anyone has had success with these examples and has any input on the below error, I would appreciate the feedback. Cheers, -- David L.
