I have used the example xml excerp from the src, but I don't know what would be wrong with the file, or how to track it further. Any ideas about where I can go to get help?
I'd suggest going straight to the source code, seeing as all the pieces you are using are open source projects.
For example:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.quartz.JobDetail.toString(JobDetail.java:381)
at java.lang.String.valueOf(String.java:2177)
at java.lang.StringBuffer.append(StringBuffer.java:361)
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.populate(BeanUtils.java:792)
at
org.apache.commons.digester.SetPropertiesRule.begin(SetPropertiesRule.java:2
59)
Looking in the source for org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils, I see that line 792 is the call to "log.debug()":
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug("BeanUtils.populate(" + bean + ", " +
properties + ")");
}So one thing you've discovered is that Quartz has a bug in it's JobDetail.toString() implementation -- it should be doing a null check! The other thing you see though, is that that's merely a debugging line. So if you go to your commons-logging configuration and set the logging threshold for org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils to "INFO" or higher, you'll skip that call all together, and maybe get a little farther.
You could also go and look at the code for Quartz and see what values in the JobDetail.toString() might possibly be dereferencing a property or method on a null object; that may help you figure out something that needs to be set, or help you track down some bug in the com.jgsullivan.quartz.SchedulerBuilder and/or com.jgsullivan.quartz.ConfigRuleSet -- I see from a brief look at ConfigRuleSet that Quartz requires some kind of complicated rules because it needs to establish relationships between a JobDetail object and a JobGroupConfig object.
At the risk of sounding like a jerk, your posts don't give the impression that you are trying very hard yourself to get to the bottom of these problems. I can't speak for anyone else, but if all you ever do is post the next stack trace that comes up, I'm personally not likely to put a whole lot more energy into helping you get to the bottom of your problem. You've got to do some of your own legwork too.
