Ok, that's more interesting.

This means the code at line 191 returned null. [which is why I'm so
particular about not chaining method calls]. So ProtectionDomain's
getCodeSource() is returning null. That's annoying; . It doesn't here.

What version of Java are you using? And, can you describe how you're
running the program (from within Eclipse? from the command line?).
