List members,
Excuse this relatively "newbie" question - but I have not yet
found anything in the FAQ or mailing list archives.
I am attempting to get my servlet - DataServ to work. After fighting
various problems w/ classpaths and environment configurations, i finally
got stuck w/ the following error:
2000-12-18 05:18:05 - Ctx( /examples ): Exception in: R( /examples +
/servlet/DataServ + null) - java.lang.NullPointerException

Does the "R( /examples + /servlet/DataServ + null)" bit mean that DataServ
recieved no arguments from the http line? i.e. what does null refer to?
I am trying to call this servlet as:
http://fqdn:8080/examples/servlet/DataServ?collection=hoagy&type=music&page=1&version=screen&id=ATM-MC2-1-2-9
Is this the correct syntax to send arguments to the servlet? This is how
the system I inherited does it w/ jserv.
It seems to me, based on the errors generated - that the servlet is not
recieving the arguments it should be....
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
