NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER in Oracle Internet Application Server

[ticheler]

Dear Jeroen,

We deployed GeoNetwork 2.2.0 on Oracle Internet Application Server. In principal it works fine. However, we found a bug in the harvesting management. The exception NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER occurs in the script xsl-transformer.js if the link "harvesting managment" is selected in the administration page. The problem is, that the value of t.responseXML is null. I fixed the problem for the Firefox 3.0 browser by introducing the following lines of code:

if (t.responseXML == null) {

parser = new window.DOMParser(); t.responseXML = parser.parseFromString(t.responseText,'text/xml');

}

Nevertheless, the problem still exists for MS Internet Explorer. I was not able to find out the real reason of the problem. May be you will really detect the error and find a better bug fix. The revised version of the script xsl-transformer.js is attached to this email.

Kind regards, Jürgen

Needs more validation before it can be fixed.
