We have some web services that we are currently running on a JBoss server that I'm trying to run locally for debug purposes.  I can run the services okay when I execute them as a Junit test, but when I try to run them on a my JBoss 5.1 server within Eclipse I get the below error.  If I try to run it a 2nd time I get a different error; a class not found on that same DFClient class (but have verified that the jar it's in is getting deployed).  This has got me running in circles.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.     Caused by: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at com.documentum.fc.client.DfClient.<clinit>(DfClient.java:700) at com.documentum.com.DfClientX.getLocalClient(DfClientX.java:43) at com.aep.dctm.webservices.beans.DocumentumLogin.getSessionMgr(DocumentumLogin.java:177) at com.aep.dctm.webservices.beans.DocumentumLogin.getSession(DocumentumLogin.java:139) at com.aep.dctm.webservices.beans.search.Search.doDocumentumSearch(Search.java:88) at com.aep.dctm.webservices.search.SearchServiceImpl.getSearchResult(SearchServiceImpl.java:56) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.wsf.container.jboss50.invocation.InvocationHandlerJSE.invoke(InvocationHandlerJSE.java:108) at org.jboss.ws.core.server.ServiceEndpointInvoker.invoke(ServiceEndpointInvoker.java:222) ... 26 more Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Hashtable.put(Unknown Source) at com.documentum.fc.common.impl.preferences.PreferencesManager.readPersistentProperties(PreferencesManager.java:321) at com.documentum.fc.common.impl.preferences.PreferencesManager.<init>(PreferencesManager.java:37) at com.documentum.fc.common.DfPreferences.initialize(DfPreferences.java:79) at com.documentum.fc.common.DfPreferences.getInstance(DfPreferences.java:58) at com.documentum.fc.impl.RuntimeContext.<clinit>(RuntimeContext.java:177) ... 38 more -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/811432#811432] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
