    Hi all, I am uisng Java EWS Managed API 1.1.3 with Exchange 2007 SP 1 and I am trying to delete a recurring meeting by binding to the master id as follows:

    Appointment meeting = Appointment.bind(service, new ItemId(masterIDstr));

    I get the following null pointer exception:

    false
    java.lang.NullPointerException
        at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.Strings.<clinit>(Strings.java:221)
        at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.SimpleServiceRequestBase.internalExecute(SimpleServiceRequestBase.java:51)
        at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.MultiResponseServiceRequest.execute(MultiResponseServiceRequest.java:140)
        at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.ExchangeService.internalBindToItems(ExchangeService.java:1390)
        at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.ExchangeService.bindToItem(ExchangeService.java:1433)
        at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.ExchangeService.bindToItem(ExchangeService.java:1457)
        at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.Appointment.bind(Appointment.java:70)
        at microsoft.exchange.webservices.data.Appointment.bind(Appointment.java:88)

    I double checked that the masterIDstr is valid.  Any ideas?

    I also tried with the EWS Java API 1.1.5 and I still get the null pointer exception.  The only change I made to that API's jar is in Appointment.java, where I commented out lines 249, 250, and 256.

    Hi,

    I also had a similar issue. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdevelopment/thread/484bb22d-1c40-4a5d-ad8e-564fdf8f568e/.

    But this is solved in the release 1.1.3. Now everything works fine for me. 

    Are you getting this exception in a stand alone application or is it happening in a web application?

    From the code, it seems to me that Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("microsoft/exchange/webservices/data/Strings.properties") is returning null. 

    You could actually verify that Strings.properties file is present in the EWSAPI-1.1.5.jar in the package "microsoft/exchange/webservices/data". 

    Regards,

    Paul

    Thank you so much for replying Paul.  I am getting this error in a standalone application.  I checked my jar and I have StringPropertyDefinition.java and Strings.java but no String.properties.

    Just an FYI - I found the Strings.properties is in the root folder of the extracted EWS toolkit.

    I added the properties file to the microsoft.exchange.webservices.data package and the NullPointerException went away
