[opencms-dev] Error with OpenCms.initCmsObject

[Marco Arata]

Hi,
this is my problem:
I call the method OpenCms.initCmsObject as described in JavaDOC API   
(http://files.opencms.org/javadoc/core/org/opencms/main/OpenCms.html)
from an external web appplication (Exo Platform) but  this error occurs:

java.lang.NullPointerException
