RE: Help: Xerces 2.3 DeferredElementNSImpl.synchronizeData() throws NullPointer

Just to be explicit I've checked 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.6.1 and all versions assume "name" will not be null...

 

So under what circumstances could name be null?

 

thx!!

I was wondering if anyone had any insight into why this would occur, or if it is different in a newer release..

 

Basically I am getting a NullPointerException when calling element.getLocalName(  ); under a load test. (threading issues?!)

 

I've trailed the exception to the method DeferredElementNSImpl.synchronizeData()...line 141

 

<code>

name = ownerDocument.getNodeName(fNodeIndex);

 

// extract local part from QName
int index = name.indexOf(':');   <------------"name" is null, this causes a NullPointer!!!

</code>

 

So I can see name is null....Under what circumstance would this occur?? Is there something I can do to avoid this?

 

I am running Tomcat 4.1.29...that's why I am still on Xercer 2.3....

 

Thank you!!
