Re: [Treebase-devel] Null pointer Exception

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I've been plodding through tables and records associated with study_id 10526, but I have not found a spurious NULL value, yet we continue to get an uncaught exception when we try to access the summary page for the study. 

Is there someone skilled at reading the trace barfs (see below) who can point me in the right direction? (or, Jon, do you have a more informative error log about what is causing the "NullPointerException"?)

thanks,

Bill
