[TM4J-users] NullPointer in TM4JVelocityApp.pushContext

[Christoph F. <cf...@fo...>]

Hi Kal

when executing

  ant -f batch.xml -Dtopicmap=tmworld.xtm topicmap

I'm getting the following null pointer

     [copy] Copying 1 file to /opt/java/tm4web/build/batch/temp
     [java] 0    [main] WARN  org.tm4j.vtl.factory.BaseFactory  - Could not locate properties file: factory.props

     [java]     at org.tm4j.vtl.TM4JVelocityApp.main(TM4JVelocityApp.java:223)


This happens with both, tm4web/velocity0.2rc1 and the current cvs-checkout. 
I'm using tm4j 0.9.7

Tracing the source it seems obvious that m_toolboxManager is not initialized 
because batch.xml does not specify the toolbox option on the command line.

do I miss something? 

Thanks

c
