I am trying to use the xmlgen package on our 8.1.7.4 installation on Solaris
8.  When I run a very simple test example from within sqlplus:

select xmlgen.getxml('select group# from v$logfile') from dual;

This is what I get:

<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<ERROR>java.lang.NullPointerException</ERROR>

Obviously, not everything is broken, since I am getting XML back.  Does
anyone have any ideas why this does not work?

Thanks,

Matt
