Getting exception while using salesforce webservice API 9.0

Hi,

 

We are using SalesForce webservices URL in one of our application. We are using API version 9.0 and it was working fine. All of a sudden we started getting the following error. Does anybody know why this is happening and how to resolve this issue?

 

Is this API URL changed? Does anybody know which community we need to subscribe on to get the information (announcements) about API changes?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Thanks

Would be useful to see the line of code that generates the NPE.

To answer your general question: API changes that might affect users are delivered in the release notes, a few weeks before the release. Each new releate note edition contains links to the previous release notes:

Hi Simon,

 

My apologies for the mistake!

 

The NPE exception was thrown from one of our java classes, which was due to non-existence of an expected data in our return object.

 

We have an application which talks to multiple systems like Intec (Billing), Salesforce (CRM). In our account creation process we use the salesforce webservice API (version 8.0) to create an entry in Salesforce.  [My apologies, it was not 9.0 but it is 8.0 version.]

 

The webservice call was throwing the below information and there after a NPE onn our server logs. So I assumed that this was due to the above information but that’s not the case.

 

We have the same version of code [code with client classes generated against WDSL 8.0] deployed on our Test server [we have test/ qa / prod server] which was giving the same information [The new server url is: https://na3-api.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/8.0/473400D500000007cBU] but the salesforce method call is still working fine.

 

So this is not a Salesforce Webservice API issue rather it’s a coding issue at our side. So please ignore my post.

 

Thanks for looking into this issue and I appreciate your support.

 

Once again, sorry for my post and the misleading information.

 

Thanks
