There must be more to that stack trace, a deeper caused by. As a guess, it is having trouble reading the component template (reading what is in the .wo directory).

Subject: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

Has anyone encountered this exception [ java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException ] when instantiating a ERXComponent subclass in a ProjectWonder/WebObjects Application. Asked another way, why is this code snippet below throwing java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException ?? And what is the resolution or the fix?

…

BmassReportMillModule1 newBmassReportMillModule1 = (BmassReportMillModule1) pageWithName( BmassReportMillModule1.class);

….

{

Caused by: com.webobjects.foundation.NSForwardException [java.lang.NullPointerException] null:java.lang.NullPointerException

at com.webobjects.appserver._private.WOComponentDefinition.finishInitializingComponent(WOComponentDefinition.java:672)

at com.webobjects.appserver.WOComponent.<init>(WOComponent.java:241)

at GenericMaintenanceComponent.<init>(GenericMaintenanceComponent.java:29)

at BmassReportMillModule1.<init>(BmassReportMillModule1.java:155)

}

PS:

public class BmassReportMillModule1 extends ERXComponent {

// These ivars point to Classes/ERXComponents that utilize << import java.lang.reflect.*; >>

public static RMPDFPage _nextPDFPage = null;

public static RMFlashPage _nextFLASHPage = null;

public static RMCSVPage _nextRMCSVPage = null;

public static RMExcelPage _nextRMExcelPage = null;

public static RMJPGPage _nextRMJPGPage = null;

public static RMHTMLPage _nextRMHTMLPage = null;

public BmassReportMillModule1(WOContext aContext)

{

super(aContext);

}

Any help will be appreciated… Thanks
