NullPointerException during build file (1.7.1beta)

Hi, 

I have a problem when I try to run a xslt transformation with with saxon via
an ant build (version 1.7.1beta). I attach the logfile for examination (
http://www.nabble.com/file/p18059372/logfile.rtf logfile.rtf ). 

Thanks a lot for your help!

You can manually patch Ant (see
<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=671018>) or build Ant
from trunk - no other way.

Yes.  Something inside your huge stack of software involved -
Geronimo, Jetty, Axis2 or your custom Ant task - adds something to the
system properties that has not a String value (i.e. they abuse the
methods Properies inherits from Hashtable and in a way violate the
contract of the Properties classe).  Ant is not (has not been)
prepared for this abuse and thus fails.

Hi,

unfortunately I cannot run the task outside of a J2EE container. Is there
any way to use the fixed class ? I have to present a demo of my work in two
days and i try to find a solution. 


Important: The problem is that when I run the ant build in the eclipse
platform everything are ok but when I run the same come as part of an
application in the geronimo application server I get a NullPointerExeption
error.

You seem to be running a custom Ant task that in turn invokes the
<java> task nested into multiple levels of <antcall> tasks internally
which makes debugging this quite a bit more complex.

For the benefit of those who don't want to install OpenOffice just to
see the logfile ...

The line in question is the put invocation in 

                Properties p = new Properties();
                for (Enumeration e = sys.propertyNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
                    String name = (String) e.nextElement();
                    p.put(name, sys.getProperty(name));
                }

I think this is the same problem we've already seen in a different
place <https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42334>.
I'll fix it in trunk, but it may be too late for 1.7.1.

Could you run your task outside of a JEE container?
