What version of digester is in your classpath?
The latest release is 1.8, but line 3181 is this one:
return new SAXParseException(error, locator, e);
which shouldn't ever throw a NullPointerException.
I suggest enabling debug-level logging for category
org.apache.commons.digester and sending the last 20 lines or so of the
output to this list too.
Regards,
Simon
