I've done everything (I think) that poolman requires in order to function, and yet it
does not. After placing only the required jars into my \lib folder, and having no
success with Poolman starting, I threw all of them in. It still doesn't work.
I wasn't at all sure, from the documentation, where I should poke the poolman.xml
file. Initially I had it in my WEB-INF directory. Then, I copied it to the \lib
directory. Still no luck.
Every time Poolman is started, I get the same exact error - a null pointer exception.
This occurs when poolman is calling parseXML from loadConfiguration. The relevant
piece of the stacktrace is:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.codestudio.management.PoolManConfiguration.parseXML
(PoolManConfiguration.java:121)
at com.codestudio.management.PoolManConfiguration.loadConfiguration
(PoolManConfiguration.java:75)
at com.codestudio.management.PoolManBootstrap.<init> (PoolManBootstrap.java:61)
at com.codestudio.management.PoolManBootstrap.<init> (PoolManBootstrap.java:54)
at com.codestudio.sql.PoolMan.start (PoolMan.java:97)
The rest of the stacktrace goes into my servlet - which worked fine before I tried to
kick off Poolman in it's init method.
I have also tried not calling start, but, instead, just allowing Poolman to do it's
'lazy' initialization - same exact result.
I would be most appreciative if someone out there could give me a 'heads up'.
I'm running Tomcat 4.0.1 (I can't see why that would matter) and JDK 1.3.
Thanks!
Eddie
