Hi Karl, the stack trace at the point where the NPE occurs is just as long as the one provided in the log.
I've fetched a stack trace at the point where previousContext is null for the first time. After that, the currentContext will be set to null and this leads to the error described. Maybe this helps: Daemon Thread [Worker thread '42'] (Suspended (entry into method endElement in XMLParsingContext)) RSSConnector$OuterContextClass(XMLParsingContext).endElement(String, String, String) line: 109 XMLFuzzyHierarchicalParseState.noteEndTagEx(String, String, String) line: 110 XMLFuzzyHierarchicalParseState(XMLFuzzyParseState).noteEndTag(String) line: 131 XMLFuzzyHierarchicalParseState(TagParseState).dealWithCharacter(char) line: 755 XMLFuzzyHierarchicalParseState(SingleCharacterReceiver).dealWithCharacters(Reader) line: 51 DecodingByteReceiver.dealWithBytes(InputStream) line: 48 BOMEncodingDetector.dealWithRemainder(byte[], int, int, InputStream) line: 248 BOMEncodingDetector(SingleByteReceiver).dealWithBytes(InputStream) line: 52 Parser.parseWithCharsetDetection(String, InputStream, CharacterReceiver) line: 82 RSSConnector.handleRSSFeedSAX(String, IProcessActivity, RSSConnector$Filter) line: 3481 RSSConnector.processDocuments(String[], String[], IProcessActivity, DocumentSpecification, boolean[], int) line: 1256 WorkerThread.run() line: 559 I've tested this with MCF 1.3 AND 1.4 (from tag). The same error occurs with both versions. Benjamin 2013/10/30 Karl Wright <[email protected]> > Hi Benjamin, > > It may be malformed XML that we don't treat properly.
