If you're getting a NullPointerException, you need to take a look at the server logs to find out where the exception is being thrown.

Hi,

which web server you are using? if you are using tomcat then you can find all server messages in stdout.txt file which inside tomcat/logs/stdout.txt

I'm not sure what you're trying to do exactly.
Can you post the relevant parts of your code?
