    NullPointerException when starting PostgreSQL

      When I am trying to start JBoss 2.4.2/Tomcat 3.2.3 I get a NullPointerException when JBoss tries to run the XADataSourceLoader. I have tried with version 2.4.1 and I get the same problem.
      The problem appears both in Win2K and RedHat7.1 environments with Java1.3.1_01

      I have added the following to jboss.jcml:


      org.postgresql.Driver



      PostgresDS
      org.jboss.pool.jdbc.xa.wrapper.XADataSourceImpl

      jdbc:postgresql://192.168.1.10/mydatabase
      postgres



      I have added jdbc7.1-1.2.jar to the /lib/ext

      This results in the following output:

      [PostgresDS] XA Connection pool PostgresDS bound to java:/PostgresDS

      I can connect to the database source with the followning program:

      public class db extends java.lang.Object {

      static String myValue;

      public db() {
      getValue();
      }

      /**
      * @param args the command line arguments
      */
      public static void main (String args[]) {
      new db();

      System.out.print(myValue);
      }

      public java.lang.String toString() {
      return myValue;
      }

      public String getValue() {
      String url = "jdbc:postgresql://192.168.1.10/mydatabase";
      //String url = "jdbc:odbc:JavaTest";
      Connection con;
      String createString;
      createString = "SELECT * from Persons";
      //createString = "SELECT * from Company";
      Statement stmt;
      ResultSet rset;

      try {
      //Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
      Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");

      } catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
      System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
      System.err.println(e.getMessage());
      }

      try {
      con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "postgres", "dummy");

      stmt = con.createStatement();
      rset = stmt.executeQuery(createString);

      rset.next();
      myValue = rset.getString("name");


      rset.close();
      stmt.close();
      con.close();

      } catch(SQLException ex) {
      System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
      }
      return myValue;
      }
      }


      Hope someone can help - I am desperately running out of ideas.....


      Thanks
      Thomas
