java.lang.NullPointer exception when invoking XSDHelper.INSTANCE

[Ritika Maheshwari]

Hi,
      here is my test client code

    //Create a DataGraph
                        //SDOUtil.createTypeHelper();
                        DataObjectUtil.initRuntime();
                        URL url = thisClass.getResource("/newEMF.xsd");
                        InputStream inputStream = url.openStream();
                        //HelperProviderImpl helperProvider = new 
HelperProviderImpl();
                        XSDHelper.INSTANCE.define(inputStream, 
url.toString());
                        inputStream.close();
                        DataGraphImpl datagraph = (DataGraphImpl)SDOUtil.
createDataGraph();
                       datagraph.createRootObject(
"http://www.ibm.com/websphere/fvt/ejbquery/emf","DataGraphRoot";);

XSDHelper.INSTANCE invocation gives the following stack trace
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
        at commonj.sdo.impl.HelperProvider.getXSDHelper(
HelperProvider.java:343)
        at commonj.sdo.helper.XSDHelper.<clinit>(XSDHelper.java:192)
        at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initializeImpl(Native Method)
        at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:148)
        ... 4 more
I tried to put the HelperProviderImpl class name  in the 
META-INF/services/commonj.sdo.impl.HelperProviderImpl text file in the 
src.main.resources package.But looks like it is not picking up the name 
for the HelperProviderImpl.

Here is the xsd file
