XML Import issue, and a NullPointerException...

Hi all,

I'm trying to import a number of issues into an instance of Scarab B21.
(Running Tomcat 5.5.20, Java JDK 1.50._11, MySql 5.0.) I keep getting a
NullPointerException from ScarabIssues.java:566. 

In tracing the code, I found this function in RModuleIssueType.java:

    public static RModuleIssueType getInstance(String key)
        throws TorqueException
    {
        if (key == null) 
        {
            throw new NullPointerException(
                "Cannot request a RModuleIssueType using a null key.");
//EXCEPTION
        }
        int colonPos = key.indexOf(':');
        if (colonPos == -1) 
        {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                "RModuleIssueType keys must be of the form N1:N2, not "
+ key); //EXCEPTION
        }
        // { module_id, issue_type_id } 
        SimpleKey[] keyArray = { new NumberKey(key.substring(1,
colonPos)), 
            new NumberKey(key.substring(colonPos+2, key.length()-1)) 
            };
        return getInstance(new ComboKey(keyArray));
    }

Am I missing something about Java, or is this a recursive function that
never queries the DB and never ends when given valid input?

Thank you,
