error while invoking getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class


Anna Wymysłowska (122) | asked Feb 07 '11, 10:24 a.m.
I try to configure a code which was working with RTC 1.0. I have upgraded jar files to 2.0 version. Everything seems fine (no compilation errors), but I get NullPointerException while invoking IWorkItemClient workItemClient= (IWorkItemClient) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);.


ArrayList<WorkItem> reopenList = new ArrayList<WorkItem>();
ITeamRepository teamRepository= TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService().getTeamRepository(REPOSITORY_URI);
teamRepository.registerLoginHandler(new LoginHandler(userId, password));
teamRepository.login(null);

IProcessClientService processClient= (IProcessClientService) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IProcessClientService.class);
IAuditableClient auditableClient= (IAuditableClient) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IAuditableClient.class);
IWorkItemClient workItemClient= (IWorkItemClient) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);



Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

at impl.WorkItemImporter.main(WorkItemImporter.java:39)

I have no idea what can cause it... teamRepository object has proper login, password and uri.

It might look as a silly question, but did you check if you are using the same version of client libraries that the server is running (including iFix)?
