System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

[Murali Manohar]

Hi 

I have the below snippet in sample.proxygen.xml and upon execution of proxygen.exe  to generate jni4net jar and DLL for sample.jar getting error as shown here.

Tried by giving all the classes of sample.jar using <JavaClass> as below, still facing same error. 

  <JavaClass TypeName="com.sample.JavaClassName"/>

instead of 

   <ClassPath Path="..\sample.jar" Generate="true" />

Note: com.sample.JavaClassName is part of sample.jar

Please suggest if sample.proxygen.xml needs any corrections, as I am not sure whether the xml content is correct here. 

Error is not pointing out the specific java class in which the failure is. 

Please help in this regard. Thanks.

Found it myself, issue occurs in one of the below condition

if the Interface contains any member fields
if the Class member fields are public
if the Enum is public

Note: if you are specifying java classes in proxygen xml, exclude the enum files.
