Similar to the message posted by Oliver Ertz on the 6th of September I am also getting a null pointer exception when trying to test the geoserver servlet configuration:
RedHat Linux 7.2
kernel 2.4.18-10
Java jdk1.3.1_04
postgresql-7.2 w/ postgis
Jakarta Tomcat jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12 binary standalone dist
Any there any known working good installations with this combination of tools? What is the latest and greatest set of known good tools (tomcat/geoserver)?
I will also try this with resin to see if that works. If no one else is looking for the null pointer I can take a dig at this code.
