Thanks Dave, if this violates the mailing list policy then I'm sorry for that.
But the amazing thing is that I'm not getting any sort of error in log with descriptive information. The application is working very fine at our end, also for most of the users only few people are getting NullPointer Exceptions. Whenever they are trying to search a project, the application searches it in the database and open the result in a new window. And the error is displaying in that window. Struts-config.xml ================= Error: <global-forwards type="org.apache.struts.action.ActionForward"> ... <forward name="unexpectedError" path="/error/Error.jsp" /> ... </global-forwards> . . . . <action path="/projectSearch" type="com.myapp.projecttracking.search.ProjectSearch" name="projectSearchForm" input="/main/projectSearch.jsp" validate="true" scope="session"> <forward name="success" path="/main/projectSearchResults.jsp"/> <forward name="newSearch" path="/setupProjectSearch.do"/> </action> ==================== ProjectSearch.java ================== public class ProjectSearch extends Action { static Logger log = Logger.getLogger(ProjectSearch.class); public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpSession session = request.getSession(); GSServices gs = (GSServices) (session.getServletContext().getAttribute(Constants.GSServices)); Properties props = gs.getAdminSettings(); log.debug("Propos: "+props); ProjectSearchForm searchForm = (ProjectSearchForm) form; session.setAttribute(Constants.SEARCHFORM,searchForm); String memberID = (String) session.getAttribute("memberID"); /* Temporary Change to run the application --- Tarun Kumar String memberID = gs.getGatewaySpecificConfig().getProperty(GSServices.PT_USER_NAME); log.debug("User name="+memberID); memberID = memberID.substring(memberID.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1); */ //Catchall if some page wants to redisplay search results but form is null if (searchForm == null) { return mapping.findForward("newSearch"); } searchForm.setMemberID(memberID); int pageSize = Constants.DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE; try { int i=searchForm.getResultsPerPage(); if (i >= Constants.MIN_PAGE_SIZE || i <= Constants.MAX_PAGE_SIZE) { pageSize = i; } } catch (NumberFormatException e) { pageSize = Constants.DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE; } searchForm.setPageSize(pageSize); String pageRequested = request.getParameter(Constants.RK_PAGE_NUMBER); if (pageRequested != null) { try { searchForm.setPageRequested(Integer.parseInt(pageRequested)); } catch(NumberFormatException e) { //page number specified in the HTTP request was not a number, ignore } } else { searchForm.setPageRequested(1); } String sortByField = request.getParameter(Constants.RK_SORT_BY_FIELD); if (sortByField != null) { try { searchForm.setSortByField(Integer.parseInt(sortByField)); } catch(NumberFormatException e) { //page number specified in the HTTP request was not a number, ignore } } ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors(); try { SearchCommand search = new SearchCommand(); //ProjectSearchForm implements ISearchCriteria, so we can //safely pass it to the business layer without tying the //business layer to Struts or the Servlet API log.debug("Before searching "); log.debug("User's Adgroups are : "+(ArrayList)session.getAttribute(Constants.SK_ADGROUPS)); ArrayList arradgroups= (ArrayList)session.getAttribute(Constants.SK_ADGROUPS); String adgroup; boolean isGPCMember= false; boolean isLPCMember= false; if(arradgroups!=null){ Iterator iter = arradgroups.iterator(); while (iter.hasNext()) { adgroup= (String) iter.next(); if(Constants.ROLE_GPC.equals(adgroup)){ isGPCMember=true; } if(Constants.ROLE_LPC.equals(adgroup)){ isLPCMember=true; } } } SearchResults results = search.execute(props, searchForm, false, isGPCMember, false, isLPCMember); log.debug(".............After search.execute...........results.toString()===="+results.toString()); request.setAttribute(Constants.RK_SEARCH_RESULTS, results); session.setAttribute(Constants.ISEDITABLE,Boolean.FALSE); return mapping.findForward("success"); } catch (NullPointerException e) { log.error(e); //Another action was likely trying to redisplay search results, but the //search criteria form is not in a valid state return mapping.findForward("newSearch"); } catch (Exception e) { try { SchedulerVO vo = new SchedulerVO(); //Properties props = ((GSServices) session.getServletContext().getAttribute(Constants.GSServices)).getAdminSettings(); TransactionContext tc = new TransactionContext(props, false); vo.setDetailMessage(e.toString()); vo.setSpecificMessage("Error in getting search results"); vo.setFormData(searchForm.toString()); Util.errorTrack(tc, vo); } catch (Exception ex) { log.error("Exception in inserting Error in DB from ProjectSearch."); } log.error(e.getMessage()); errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, new ActionError("error.message", e.getMessage())); saveErrors(request, errors); return mapping.findForward("unexpectedError"); } } } ================== Error.jsp, timeout.jsp, and NotAuthorized.jsp are three error pages in my application. Let me know if I'm wrong at any point. - Pranab On Mon, 18 Aug 2008 Dave Newton wrote : >Attachments aren't propagated to the mailing list.
