BUILD FAILED java.lang.NullPointerException at org.tigris.subversion.svnant.Status.execute(Unknown Source)

<property name="svnUrl" value="svn://svn.sample.com/repo/proj" />
<property name="commonSrc" location="${commonBaseDir}/src"/>

Code snippet 01: Incorrect

<svn username="${svnUser}" password="${svnPwd}">

<status path="${svnUrl}" textStatusProperty="status.text" propStatusProperty="status.prop" revisionProperty="revision"/>

</svn>

Code snippet 02: Correct

<svn username="${svnUser}" password="${svnPwd}">

<status path="${commonBaseDir}" textStatusProperty="​status.text" propStatusProperty="​status.prop" revisionProperty="revision"/>

</svn>

When I had this error, I was referring to the wrong path (svnUrl is the path where remote project source code actually lives). I was able to solved it by pointing to the base project (your check out version of the project). It is required to check out the project (will become base project) before you check the "status". "Status" command  read the status information from the local check out project not from the remote server. (One of the mistakes I did ;-)) 


Here is the correct code snippet to print the latest checked out version.

<project name="MyProject" default="init" basedir=".">

Frame/iFrame Element Accessibility/Manipulation

Attach an event method to the unloaded iFrame body
var reportFrame = document.getElementById("reportFrame");
reportFrame.contentWindow.document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].onmousedown = function () {
top.hideSubMenu("admin", "adminSubMenu");
};

Some Useful Navigation Through iFrame

top.frames[1].frames[tab].document.getElementById(subMenuDivId).style.display = "none";

window.frames[tab].frames["tabs"].showSubMenu();

parent.frames["navBar"].showNav();

document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')[1].contentWindow.frames[0].callSubMenu()

iframe.contentWindow.showSourceDataList()

Servlet Handles the Downloading the Attachment

                response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
                response.setHeader("Cache-control", "must-revalidate");
                FileInputStream fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(attachment);
                byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
                int byteCount = 0;
                ServletOutputStream outputStream = response.getOutputStream();
                while ((byteCount = fileInputStream.read(buffer)) >= 0) {
                    outputStream.write(buffer, 0, byteCount);
                }
                outputStream.flush();
                outputStream.close();
                fileInputStream.close();
