[jira] [Commented] (UIMA-5126) UIMA-AS thows an NPE if saxon9he.jar is in the classpath

["Marshall Schor (JIRA)" <de...@uima.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-5126?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15555067#comment-15555067 ] 

Marshall Schor commented on UIMA-5126:
--------------------------------------

Looking at the stack trace, the last UIMA code is a call in org.apache.uima.util.XMLSerializer, line 277, which is 
{code}mHandler.startElement(...){code}
mHandler is set from javax.xml.transform.sax,SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance().

Looks like Saxon 9 registered itself as the transformer factory.

An internet search for a saxon 9 bug of this variety did not turn up anything.

Burn, if you could reliably reproduce this, could you wrap the call on line 277 of XMLSerializer with a try / catch, and when the error happens, print out the arguments?  Perhaps UIMA is passing flaky (that's a technical term :-) ) arguments to start element.
