NullPointerException using Web Start

[jmromero]

I'm using Multivalent with this features:

-Windows 2000 SP4
-java version 1.6.0_03
-Multivalent20060102.jar
-java Web Start 1.6.0_03

I obtain a NullPointerException using Java Web Start, but the application functions well if i don´t use Java Web Start.

My code is the following:

(1) Multivalent multivalent = Multivalent.getInstance();
(2) Browser browser = multivalent.getBrowser("_NEW", "Basic", false);

I obtain the following NullPointerException in line (2)

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.pt.io.InputUniURI.getLocal(Unknown Source)
    at com.pt.io.InputUniURI.getURI(Unknown Source)
    at multivalent.std.MediaLoader.load(Unknown Source)
    at multivalent.Browser.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at multivalent.Multivalent.getBrowser(Unknown Source)

I test my application with Multivalent20040415.jar and it crash too:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at multivalent.Multivalent.findJARs(Multivalent.java:149)
    at multivalent.Multivalent.getInstance(Multivalent.java:99)

¿Anybody have run multivalent with web start?
¿Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm having the same problem with MultiValent and WebStart. Looks like a (incorrect) permission-denied. I've signed my application so it should have access to the file... Sadly, the source-code of the com.pt.io.InputUniURI is not available (at least I cannot find it), so it's hard to say what's really going on.
If someone has a workaround I would be glad to hear of it.

Kind regards,

Btw, i'm using java 1.6, Multivalent20060102.jar, IE7.0, XP
