#613 NullPointerException thrown

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm currently working with soapUI-3.6.1 and everything is running smoothly. Today I've tried soapUI-4.0-beta2 and I encounter a bug :

11:20:23,913 INFO [DefaultSoapUICore] Creating new settings at [/path/soapui-settings.xml]
11:20:25,008 INFO [WorkspaceImpl] Loading workspace from [/path/default-soapui-workspace.xml]
11:20:25,163 INFO [WsdlProject] Loaded project from [file:/path/to/project/soapui-project.xml]
11:20:25,491 INFO [SoapUI] Used java version: 1.6.0_25
Exception in thread "XpcMessageLoop" java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.teamdev.xpcom.XpcMessageLoop.<init>(Unknown Source)
at com.teamdev.xpcom.XpcMessageLoop.getInstance(Unknown Source)
at com.teamdev.xpcom.b$a.run(Unknown Source)

The steps to reproduce are simple :
- download soapUI-4.0-beta2
- run /path/to/soapui/bin/soapui.sh

The interface shows up but it freezes as the bug occurs.

When I try to run soapUI-4.0-beta2 as root, the error is different ! See below :

11:20:35,022 INFO [DefaultSoapUICore] Creating new settings at [/root/soapui-settings.xml]
11:20:36,194 INFO [SoapUI] Used java version: 1.6.0_25

I've joined the file mentionned (hs_err_pid20296.log)

I have also tried with soap-UI-Pro-4.0.0-SNAPSHOT, I have the _exact same errors_

BTW I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with classic interface.

Is this a bug in soapUI or a bug in my environnement ? The weird thing is that soapUI-3.6.1 works nice !

File produced when soapUI is run as root

You need to disable jxbrowser component. If you are using soapui-pro.sh look for line with -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true and uncomment it.

If running from launcher, seek for *.vmoptions file in bin folder and add -Dsoapui.jxbrowser.disable=true .

Ok it seems to work now, but it is still a silly fix no ? Why does this happen ?

[robert]

it is a third party component that have issues on linux. For me it works half time, half time not...so, this is a way to live with it..

Ok, should I close this bug ?

For me disabling jxbrowser in soapui.sh worked. When I changed *.vmoptions nothing changed.
