Most of = them have worked fine; however, I cannot get the Novell GroupWise = WebAccess servlet to function properly. It worked fine under JServ 1.1.2. = This was on the same machine with the same JDK 1.2.2 installation. I = have verified that all of the .jar files are in the classpath, and that = the init arguments are properly entered into web.xml. =20 Here is the error message from tomcat.log: Context log: path=3D"" Error in webacc init(): null java.lang.NullPointerEx= ception at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:377) at com.novell.webac= cess.common.I18NPropertyBundle.getI18NPropertyBundle(I18NPropertyBundle.jav= a:221) at com.novell.webaccess.common.I18NPropertyBundle.getI18NPropertyBu= ndle(I18NPropertyBundle.java:39) at com.novell.webaccess.common.I18N= PropertyBundle.getI18NPropertyBundle(I18NPropertyBundle.java:30) at = com.novell.webaccess.WebAccessServlet.init(WebAccessServlet.java:110) at = org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.initServlet(ServletWrapper.java:315) = at org.apache.tomcat.core.ServletWrapper.handleRequest(ServletWrapper.java:= 445) at org.apache.tomcat.core.ContextManager.service(ContextManager.jav= a:559) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConn= ection(HttpConnectionHandler.java:160) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpCon= nectionThread.run(SimpleTcpEndpoint.java:338) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thr= ead.java:475) Unfortunately, Novell will not support this platform. However, they = assert that their servlets should run on any servlet container meeting the = following: - Compatible with Java Servlet Development Kit (JSDK) 2.0 - Compatible with Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.1.6 or above Does anyone have a clue as to why this servlet won't load?
