Unexpected exception - Null Pointer while launching the app

800467Apr 23 2008 — edited May 1 2008

Hi all,

I have 2 jnlp files (main.jnlp and install.jnlp - which contains the <installer-desc> tag. When I run the launch file (which is install.jnlp) I get the error below. The java dialog box comes up saying "Launching the Application" and then I get the "Unable to Launch the Application" dialog box which contains the following:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getResourceCacheEntry(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getCachedFile(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getCachedFile(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.getCachedFile(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javaws.LaunchDownload.updateNoHrefLaunchDescInCache(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.updateFinalLaunchDesc(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.prepareToLaunch(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javaws.Launcher.launch(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source)
	at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Any suggestions much appreciated on why the Null pointer is thrown,
