Obviously something is null on which you are invoking some method.
So you want to show us your EmailFormatServlet #destroy() ?

In future, while posting code, please UseCodeTags I have added them this time for you. As you can see they make the code much more easier to read and understand

As per your stack trace the NullPointerException originated on line 27 of your code. viz.

That would indicate that the variable ps is null. Just put a null check before you invoke a method on it.

This is not really a servlet question. Moving to a more appropriate forum

. . . and we can see that[ttt ps [/tt]was previously initialised to null. You ought to initialise it to something useful and correct, then it will work
