Java importing library source code ExceptionInInitializerError exception

Question

I imported in my project source code of a library in order to change some parts of the library. But when I launch the program I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError at impl.owls.OWLSConverters.registerConverters(OWLSConverters.java:138)

This is OWLSConverters.java:

Other information about exception:

Answer 1

Try replacing the missing URL with this version - it looks like it's the same file to me.

http://www.ai.sri.com/daml/services/owl-s/1.2/ServiceParameter.owl

From what I know of OWL-S, it has had little changes in the last few years, so either location should work.

Answer 2

Your library / program tries to load a certain file from the internet (http://www.daml.org/services/owl-s/1.2/ServiceParameter.owl), but this file doesn't exist. This could possibly be a configurable URL (ifso, it should be configured to point to the correct location).

Also: there is a fallback scenario for when the file cannot be accessed, in which case it uses a local file (pointed to by the local String parameter of loadOntology). In this way, presumably, a local copy of the .owl file could be used, to ensure that the program is functional even when there is no internet connection. Unfortunately, this route is also unsuccessful: Your best bet is to make sure that your copy of the package contains the ServiceParameter.owl file, and that the location of this file is the same as it was in the original package.
