Problem with addDocument returning java.lang.NullPointerException

[Richard Belanger <rb...@forrester.com>]

Hello:

I am building a Lucene application and I am getting a NullPointerException
when calling addDocument.  Invoking the toString method on my Document jst
before the addDocument call gives:

Document<Te...@5>
Keyword<modified:0d4nk0hs0> Text<title:Millionaires Last Hope For
Telematics> Text<path:\PDFDirectory\2002\Millionaires Last Hope For
Telematics.pdf>>

Which seems to be ok.  Commenting out individual fields seems to make no
difference.  Any suggestions of what I could be doing wrong would be
appreciated.

Richard,

You need to provide a bit more info before anyone (or, more specifically, I)
will be able to assist you.  I infer from what you've said that your source
documents are PDF?  What sort of Document class are you using?  If you
aren't checking for null fields, the sort of behavior you're describing is
inevitable.

Regards,

Terry
