#137 NullPointerException

[Gordon Page]

I have installed SchemaSpy and get this error when I try to run it:

This is the command (password not displayed!) SchemaSpyGUI has generated:
java -jar "C:\SchemaSpy\schemaSpy_5.0.0.jar" -dp "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver 3.0\sqljdbc_3.0\enu\sqljdbc.jar" -t mssql -db Bancvue -host localhost -port 516345 -u gordon.page -connprops "C:\SchemaSpy\properties\mssql.properties" -o "C:\SchemaSpy\gordon.page_Bancvue_"

E=1I=1

I believe I have PATH set up properly

I got the error message through SchemaSpyGUI, but when I have tried to run it from the command line I get a similar error.

Any ideas?

Somehow it wasn't able to find connectionSpec in mssql.properties (exists inside of the .jar). I really have no clue how that can happen. The only non-standard thing you're doing is specifying -connprops, so there's a slight chance that's somehow involved.

Can you try the latest beta at http://schemaspy.sourceforge.net/schemaSpy.jar and see if that resolves it?

Thanks,
John

Thanks John.

Unfortunately, that had no effect. Here is the error message:

C:\SchemaSpy>java -jar schemaSpy.jar -t mssql -o c:\schemaspy\outdir -host localhost -db BancVue -port 51635 -u gordon.page -p ...

C:\SchemaSpy>

The only thing I can think of is that it's finding a different .properties file. Your c:\SchemaSpy\ directory does not contain a file named mssql or mssql.properties, right? If it does then SchemaSpy is attempt to use it instead of what's in the .jar.
