[Jetty-support] java.lang.NullPointerException org.mortbay.http.PathMap.pathMatch (PathMap.java:382)

[Emanuel P. <ema...@in...>]

Hi,

I had been running Anthill-1.6.3.67
(http://www.urbancode.com/projects/anthill/download.jsp) on Jetty-4.2.8 =
on
the IBM 1.3.1 JDK on Redhat 7.2 for a long time without a hitch.
After upgrading to the IBM 1.4.1 JDK, I got the following error when =
trying
to access the anthill webapp (static or dynamic content):

18:43:27.306 WARN!!

	at org.mortbay.util.ThreadPool$PoolThread.run(ThreadPool.java:454)

Here are the steps I have already taken to try to address the issue:
1) I upgraded to Jetty-4.2.12
2) I compiled Jetty-4.2.12 (dist target) with the IBM 1.4.1 JDK
3) I tried deploying a different, inhouse webapp (in case it might be
something specifically weird about the anthill.war file or its web.xml)

The same error occurred.
However, the sample template webapp does in fact work. (not sure how
significant that is)

Note: No modifications were made to any Jetty config files.

Attached is the full debug log of my attempt to access the anthill =
webapp on
Jetty-4.2.12 running on IBM JDK 1.4.1.

Any help in addressing this issue would be greatly appreciated as I am
really running out of ideas.

Thanks,
