I have been facing similar problems with tomacat3.2. I have an application whose jsp and html are in in a context say "test". These pages send requests to servlets with URL's like /servlet/servletname (notice that it doesn't have a context name preceding the URL /contextname/servlet/servletname).
The /servlet URL works fine when i use them directly in the location bar of browser, however the below excpetion is reported for servlet when request is sent from a context-sensitive jsp page. So does it mean tomcat3.2 is strictly context-sensitive. The same setup runs well in tomcat3.1. Also if the above servlet dispatches request to any context-sensitive jsp, i get the below exception. > 2001-10-04 02:45:40 - Ctx() : Exception in R( + /index.jsp + null) - > java.lang.NullPointerException > at java.io.Writer.write(Writer.java:129) > at > org.apache.tomcat.modules.loggers.AccessLogInterceptor.beforeCommit(AccessLo > gInterceptor.java:241) > at > org.apache.tomcat.core.OutputBuffer.realWriteBytes(OutputBuffer.java:184) > at org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.ByteChunk.flushBuffer(ByteChunk.java:360) > at org.apache.tomcat.core.OutputBuffer.flush(OutputBuffer.java:315) > at org.apache.tomcat.core.OutputBuffer.close(OutputBuffer.java:305) > at org.apache.tomcat.core.Response.finish(Response.java:271) > at > org.apache.tomcat.modules.server.Ajp13Response.finish(Ajp13Interceptor.java: > 331) > at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.java:836) > at > org.apache.tomcat.modules.server.Ajp13Interceptor.processConnection(Ajp13Int > erceptor.java:193) > at > org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:477) > at > org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.jav > a:517) > at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) > > > What causes that? > > Thanks, > > Brian > > Apache 1.3.6/Tomcat 3.3rc1/Windows 2000/jdk1.3.1 > Byju P.Nair Software Engineer, Coas India,174,Road No. 72, Prasashan Nagar,Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, India
