Hi,
I know this topic is a bit old, but I've also for the past few days been trying to get the petstore demo to work. I've downloaded a copy from the Oracle site (as I'm using Oracle App server, db and oc4j containers).
Everytime I try the 'Enter the store' link I get a 'PopulateServlet' error as follows:
========================
PopulateServlet Error:
java.lang.NullPointerException java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.tools.populate.web.PopulateServlet.checkTables(PopulateServlet.java:276) at com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.tools.populate.web.PopulateServlet.doGet(PopulateServlet.java:127) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:244) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:336) at com.evermind.server.http.ResourceFilterChain.doFilter(ResourceFilterChain.java:59) at oracle.security.jazn.oc4j.JAZNFilter.doFilter(JAZNFilter.java:283) at com.evermind.server.http.ServletRequestDispatcher.invoke(ServletRequestDispatcher.java:523) at com.evermind.server.http.ServletRequestDispatcher.forwardInternal(ServletRequestDispatcher.java:269) at com.evermind.server.http.HttpRequestHandler.processRequest(HttpRequestHandler.java:735) at com.evermind.server.http.AJPRequestHandler.run(AJPRequestHandler.java:151) at com.evermind.util.ThreadPoolThread.run(ThreadPoolThread.java:64)
=========================
I've scoured all the Oracle and Sun sites and have had no joy in figuring out this problem. Has anybody else out there had this error or does anybody have suggestions?
Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Gillian
