"Generation failed" - DC build failed!

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have two DCs: Comp A and Comp B. If I build Comp A or Comp B it's OK !

If I import comp B public part into compA and I build comp A it's OK!

If I add in used web dynpro component of comp A, a component of comp B and I build comp A, the build fails.

I already tried to import other components into CompA or to import Comp B into other components and I havent't any problems in these cases!

The Error log is:

Hello Frattini

The error stack clearly mentions existence of a null pointer. I think, you should check for null pointer in comp B, most probably it must be in the wdDoInit of that comp. Also, thoroughly check comp B for any errors that you must be ignoring.

I hope this helps you.
