Re: Stumped on "Attempt to insert null object...." when connecting to DB

It seems reasonable (I removed passwords and server/port):

Mar 20 16:45:40 DataBuilder[2500] INFO  NSLog  - erprototypes

Mar 20 16:45:40 DataBuilder[2500] INFO  NSLog  - {driver =
"com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver"; password = "<password>"; plugin =
"com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.SybasePlugIn"; username = "varscsak"; }


Mar 20 16:45:40 DataBuilder[2500] INFO  NSLog  - product

Mar 20 16:45:40 DataBuilder[2500] INFO  NSLog  - {plugin =
"com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor.SybasePlugIn"; username = "varscsak"; driver =
"com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver"; password = "<password>"; URL =
"jdbc:sybase:Tds:<servername>:<port>"; }
