Hi Friends,
I'm trying to install Oracle9i (9.2.0.1.0) on Solaris8.
I've gotten error messages when started the runInstaller:
Exception occurred during event dispatching:
java.lang.InternalError: java/langNullPointerException

I ignoired them and the installing completed. But I've gotten another error messages when I started the dbca program:
ava.lang.NullPointerException

What is happening? How can I fix it?
Many thanks for any advice.

I have encountered the exact same problem... against the exact same Solaris version - today. Coincedence is funny... but this problem is not.

My env is all set properly... (by the way, if you haven't created your first database, you don't necessarily have a SID yet, right?)

Anyway, Still getting the java exception & stack and the config assistant never shows up (I'm running it from an exported xterm, the DISPLAY is definitely set right)... I wonder if it's a swing/X-client problem... hmmmm

Same here and it's driving me crazy. I'm really keen to use dbca to create a new database.

I found I could get past the above error by:

dbca -continueOnNonFatalErrors true

but then it seems to require me to spec everything on the command line.

I see this thread is already a year old so hold little hope that someone will come up with a solution.

I read elsewhere that using Hummingbird Exceed as your xterm emulator solved this problem ... and it does! But what an expensive fix! I also tried on a real Sun x-terminal but that still had the same problem.

It seems to me that all you need is the correct fonts - I'll keep looking!

Add more fonts into your XServer.
