NullPointerException handling problem in new window

mmah

As some of you know, my report servlet is run side-by-side with my main application. A report is usually generated by creating another window (when we run in IE for example).

I have one problem though: sometimes there is a scenario where a person could press refresh (F5) button and the window could refresh. Refreshing the window would cause a NullPointerException error.

Chances are a new user could stumble into this problem, but the question i have is that where can I implement error handling for this scenario?

Thanks in advance,

Melvin

Hi Melvin,

Is the problem that the report is opening a new window?.... or that the F5 button is causing problems? Can you describe the problem a bit more?
