Thanks for the help.

The 3rd party classes, i must use, seem to act up in 1.1.6 and greater.
For instance, when I call a certain method using the 1.1.6 jdk, the
function throws a NullPointerException during the execution, but when it
is run in a 1.1.5 jdk this does not seem to occur. I suppose the
exception handling was improved in 1.1.6 and the sloppy coding has
caught up with them.

The library is a piece of "Middleware" that allows access to a
enterprise Web Based EDMS. The actual function that is called in this
environment runs correctly and returns the appropriate information to
the Middleware method. The error occurs in a function called
.unMarshal(). I suspect that it is in some sort of socket clean up that
is occuring, since communication with the server is performed via
sockets.
