In the log that you are attached, there is no NullPointerException, it 
is a ClassNotFoundException.
Since your log says that classes are missing, check if any JAR files are 
missing in your WEB-INF/lib folder. If needed, just install them 
manually from your opencms update package into that folder. Somewhere in 
the unpacked update folder there should be all the jars that are needed.

Also make sure that you don't have two versions of the same jar - if you 
have two versions of the same jar and both contain class files, the you 
have to move the older version of the jar away. This is very important. 
However, it is normal, that you have a few older jars lying around in 
your WEB-INF/libs that only contain manifest information and no classes 
- that would be no problem at all.

Kind regards
Christian
