Null pointer exception in the morning

Hi all,

I have built a custom JSP DYN page application that for the most part works ok. However, I've found on occassion that when I arrive in the morning, the application errors out in our dev and qa portal environments with a null pointer exception type error. The error info in the trace log file is below. I've found that if I redeploy a fresh copy of the application to the dev portal server, it makes the problem go away. In our QA environment, if I restart the portal the problem goes away. In other words, I'm not making any changes to the code to make the problem go away. It's like something has gone awry in the portal.

The trace log file isn't really telling me anything significant. Maybe someone out there has heard of this problem and knows what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the error info:

Hi Stephen,

There is no NullPointerException in the trace given by yours (but probably a JSP compiler problem).

Are you sure you have attached the right trace excerpt? If yes, why did you think of a NPE? And I also expect that the trace for the exception we see in there is not everything which is printed out in the trace for this issue...

Best regards

Detlev
