#1 Null Pointer exception

[Anonymous]

Hi,

After installing this on Windows XP, when I run this application and try to add new connection to DB2 database, I get following error:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.xalan.serialize.SerializerToXML.writeAttrString(Unknown Source)
at org.apache.xalan.serialize.SerializerToXML.processAttribute(Unknown Source)

at dbedit.actions.CustomAction$1.execute(CustomAction.java:44)
at dbedit.ThreadedAction.run(ThreadedAction.java:35)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Now, I do not find anywhere org.apache.xalan structure.

Do I need to have apache server running on the machine?

Pelase help...

This is cause by a bug in JRE 1.4.2_03.
In later versions of 1.4.2 this is fixed.
Please upgrade to JRE 5.0/6.0 because the next release of DBEdit requires at least JRE 5.0 to be installed.
