Please help me to find the possible place the problem comes from. I have been struggling with this problem for days. I tried a number of things but just could not get rid of the problem.
The Tomcat log does not give enough clue to trace where the problem occurs. My class extends Action. But the log keeps indicating the problem is from where the ParameterAction is. I am completely disoriented. I think the Tomcat console provides better clue (log messages are posted after the console messages): org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources <init> INFO: Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.taglib.logic.LocalStrings', returnNull=true org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources <init> INFO: Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.taglib.html.LocalStrings', returnNull=true org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources <init> INFO: Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.util.LocalStrings', returnNull=true org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResources <init> INFO: Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.taglib.bean.LocalStrings', returnNull=true WARNING: Unhandled Exception thrown: class java.lang.NullPointerException Below are the log messages: ----- Root Cause ----- java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.struts.scaffold.ParameterAction.findSuccess(Unknown Source) at org.apache.struts.scaffold.BaseAction.execute(Unknown Source) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:484) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java:274) ............. ............. My struts-config.xml looks like: [CODE] <action roles="administrator,editor,contributor" path="/message/ListThreads" type="org.apache.artimus.message.ListThread" name="articleForm" scope="request" validate="false"> <forward name="success" path="/signin/Welcome.jsp">; </action> [/CODE] I have a java class ListThread.java that extends Action. This java class simply calls a couple of helper classes to access my database. In the end of the ListThread.java, it is a standard statement: return ( mapping.findForward( "success" ) ); [CODE] import LOTS OF PACKAGES AND CLASSES; public final class ListThread extends Action { public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { String memberName = request.getRemoteUser(); // for sort and order stuff String sort = request.getParameter( "sort" ); String order = request.getParameter( "order" ); if ( sort.length() == 0 ) sort = "ThreadLastPostDate"; if ( order.length()== 0 ) order = "DESC"; int offset = 0; int rows = MessageInboxConfig.ROWS_IN_THREADS; offset = Integer.parseInt( request.getParameter( "offset" ) ); rows = Integer.parseInt( request.getParameter( "rows" ) ); ListThreadHandler lthandler = new ListThreadHandler(); ListPostHandler lphandler = new ListPostHandler(); int totalThreads = lthandler.getNumberOfThreads_forReceiver( memberName ); if ( offset > totalThreads ) { throw new BadInputException( "The offset is not allowed to be greater than total rows." ); } Collection beans = lthandler.getThreads_forReceiver_withSortSupport_limit( memberName, offset, rows, sort, order ); SiteUtil.prepareNavigate( request, offset, beans.size(), totalThreads, MessageInboxConfig.ROWS_IN_THREADS ); int totalPosts = lphandler.getNumberOfPosts_forReceiver( memberName ); request.setAttribute( "ThreadBeans", beans ); request.setAttribute( "TotalThreads", new Integer( totalThreads ) ); request.setAttribute( "TotalPosts", new Integer( totalPosts ) ); return ( mapping.findForward( "success" ) ); } } [/CODE] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
