Hi Saranga.
Thanks for your reply.I got to solve above error. I have changed '\' with '/' in my property file and this error was solved, but I was getting another error.

It is,

[saranga]

HI,

Can u send u r applicationcontext.xml file ..................

please specify the getter and setter method in "authenticationServiceTarget" which the property "target"

Bascially in u r class add getter and setter methods of the "target"

[maulik.kayastha]

Just one thing I would like to add this project is online and we are doing current enhancement in the project.
So I dont feel any programming bug is possible.
I cant send applicationcontext.xml as it's posting is too large.
I can mail you the file if you dont mind.
Here is the bean entry in applicationcontext.xml

<bean id="authenticationServiceSelf" parent="baseTransactionProxy">
<property name="target">
<ref bean="authenticationServiceTarget" />
</property>

<property name="transactionAttributes">
<props>
<!-- Rollback the AddNewUser Service if the AuthenticationServiceException is thrown -->
<prop key="*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,-com.trilogy.mobilechurn.services.authentication.Au thenticationServiceException</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>

<!--
The actual AuthenticationService instance.
-->
<bean id="authenticationServiceTarget" class="com.trilogy.mobilechurn.services.authentica tion.AuthenticationServiceImpl" init-method="initialize">
<property name="transactionManager">
<ref bean="transactionManager" />
</property>

<property name="userDataService">
<ref bean="userDataService" />
</property>

<property name="regionDataService">
<ref bean="regionDataService"/>
</property>

<property name="constantsBusinessService">
<ref bean="constantsService" />
</property>

<property name="networkDataService">
<ref bean="networkDataService" />
</property>

<property name="constantDataService">
<ref bean="constantsDataService" />
</property>
</bean>

NullPointerException at com.trilogy.mobilechurn.services.constants.Constan tsServiceImpl.populateSPRegions(ConstantsServiceIm pl.java:348)

is I feel is a root cause of the error, coz in ConstantsServiceImpl.java there is one line,
assert (m_spRegions != null) : "Regions not populated";

So here we are getting some error like,

assert should not be used as an identifier, since it is a reserved keyword from source level 1.4 on".
Any Idea how to patch it up ?

[saranga]

hi,

please trace back ConstantsServiceIm pl.java .......

how u are calling this................ are u calling like
ConstantsServiceImpl clmple = new ConstantsServiceImpl();


then this nullpointer will throww..........please

remove all the new Objects() i am sure this is of this error...............

[saranga]

this is related to nullpointer exception.

NullPointerException at com.trilogy.mobilechurn.services.constants.Constan tsServiceImpl.populateSPRegions(ConstantsServiceIm pl.java:348)


But i dont know about the assert key

assert should not be used as an identifier, since it is a reserved keyword from source level 1.4 on".


remove all the new Object where ever u r calling..............
as per u r application context file ..............

[maulik.kayastha]

Ok. I m trying for it and I'll get back to you.
