NullPointerException in ORB.getPresentationManager when calling ORB.string_to_object

Admittedly I'm new to CORBA and using ORBs. I have some code that gets installed on a 3rd party machine that is using the TAO ORB version 1.3. When my code calls:
String myObjectString = "IOR: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";
ORB.string_to_object(myObjectString);
I get an exception:

This same code works on other 3rd party machines running other ORBs, so I'm not sure if this is an issue with the TAO ORB, or something else. Are there any ORB masters that can tell me why this might be happening?

This ended up being caused by the JRE version that was installed on the 3rd party machine.
This was related to the airline industry CUSS (Common Use Self Service) version 1.3 requirements that state what version of Java is required to be installed. In the CUSS docs it stated that Java 1.7.0_21 and above were allowed. In the Errata docs it was changed to require Java 1.7.0_21 specifically.

Why can't GenericArrayTypeImpl be cast to java.lang.Class in java 6, when it can in java 7?

My actual problem is a derivation of the title, but the title is the root cause of my issue:
I am developing a java web application at work. The server my application is to be deployed on, only accepts java 6 or lower (WebLogic 10.3.2)
I need to call a web service in my application. My experience in this area is limited. I have been able to make it work, but when I integrated my code into the web application, compiled and tested it, I got this error:

I have traced this error back to being a java version issue. It works in 7, but the Exception is thrown on method execution, if I compile in 6, which I have to do for the web app. The line where my exception is thrown, is the one with NotificationRecieverSoapInterface.class below:
NotifikationRecieverSoap service = null;
try {
service = new NotifikationRecieverSoap(new URL("[myURL].svc?wsdl"));
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
NotificationRecieverSoapInterface notificationService = service.getPort(NotificationRecieverSoapInterface.class);
notifikationService.createNotificationRequest(logHeader, loginModule, parmV, priority, recipients);
The Service.getPort()-method seems identical in the two java versions, so I'm at a loss there. the sun.reflect.generics.reflectiveObjects.GenericArrayTypeImpl are also identical in 6 and 7.
The closest thing I found to a similar problem online, was this: http://forum.spring.io/forum/spring-projects/container/26020-classcastexception-genericarraytypeimpl-cannot-be-cast-to-class. Unfortunately, the solution here was that there is a bug in Spring, which I am not using...
Does anyone know more specifically what my problem is, and if it can be worked around, using only Java 6?
I do have a lot more code to show. I have chosen the parts I think is most relevant to the problem. I can provide jax-ws-generated classes for data structure, or sample xml's as well, on request.

Ok... I used this method to generate the web service classes: http://www.mkyong.com/webservices/jax-ws/jax-ws-wsimport-tool-example/
I realized that I had used a 1.7 JDK when calling the wsimport.exe. This was incompatible with my 1.6 project. After regenerating the classes with the wsimport.exe found in the correct JDK 1.6, the java classes were slightly different, and compatible with my project's setup.

Error (NoClassDefFoundError) loading applet

I am using Netbeans 7.3, JRE 1.7.0_11, Java SE 7 update 40, on Mac 10.8.5.
I have created a JApplet GUI form which I have embedded in a applet tag within a HTML doc,
which I have created in a Java Wed application.
When I try to run in Safari I get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError org/jdesktop/layout/GroupLayout$Group
I have searched the net, it seems a common issue, ive found that some people resolved this error by changing :
Preferences-Java-GUI Builder - Layout Generation Style from Automatic to Swing Layout Extension Library. (from Automatic) & also tried importing swing.groupLayout but netbeans flags as a unused import.
But I am still getting the same error.
Any feedback appreciated.
I have also posted this same question on code ranch and submitted it to netbeans forum but have had no luck to date.
Update:
So scratched that for now idea for now and tried a basic app with a simple paint method that paints 'Hello', did not load on a Mac OS 10.8 and on windows 7 got the following error:

Update:
Confirmed these basic applets are working on other PCs on all browsers so it has to be the settings of my own Mac 10.8, i have already check the security settings for java and they are set a medium, any ideas?

As the other post indicated, AjaxSwing supports all layouts (because it simply reads components coordinates).
If you get NoClassDefFoundError that means you haven't copied the .jar files to the right directory. You can either copy it to a directory on AjaxSwing CLASSPATH or specify them via agent.classPath. See documentation for more information.

how make excutable for my java application with JDeveloper

I want to create an excutable file for my java project, previous time I do it by Jbuilder or netbean as I remember but I dont know how I should do it in JDeveloper to make Excutable file(EXE file)
please advice me, please describe clearly...
EDIT:
It's simple desktop application.it is not web application....
EDIT2:
I remove that part for checking argument and run my program I face with this problem:
what should I do?

Have you considered Launch4j?
Regarding your configuration problem, the Launch4J documetation says:
Additional JVM options at runtime
When you create a wrapper or launcher
all configuration details are compiled
into the executable and cannot be
changed without recreating it or
hacking with a resource editor.
Launch4j 2.1.2 introduces a new
feature that allows to pass additional
JVM options at runtime from an
.l4j.ini file. Now you can specify the
options in the configuration file, ini
file or in both, but you cannot
override them. The ini file's name
must correspond to the executable's
(myapp.exe : myapp.l4j.ini). The
arguments should be separated with
spaces or new lines, environment
variable expansion is supported, for
example:
# Launch4j runtime config
-Dswing.aatext=true
-Dsomevar="%SOMEVAR%"
-Xms16m
Other alternatives that you may consider are JSmooth,WinRun4J.

If your desktop application has a GUI, and you can distribute it from a site, look to Java Web Start.
JWS provides a 'one-click' installation option for the end user, automatic updates, desktop integration, splash screens and much more. It is part of the standard Java(1) distribution (since 1.4.2) & is supported by Oracle.
(1) JWS works with standard Jar files - no exe needed, which means it will work on *nix & Mac.

it so simple guys...
I solved my problem in this way...simplest way....
first of all check the version of java that installed in your client computer, you check by this command in CMD:
java -version
after you make sure about java version you need to make a bat file. [conflict in version maybe cause null except] after that you should know which external package u used in this project... for example I used 1 file for connecting to oracle database "ojdbc14" and the other for GUI, after that you can simply run your program or even pass parameter to them by just mention them at end of name of runable of your class:
java -client -classpath ojdbc14.jar;lipstikLF-1.1.jar;swing-layout.jar;smt.jar Main.GUI.SmRun rimrim
I guess those library we used in our project need also run, but I am not sure, I just suggest this work
java -client -classpath <name of you library>;<name of you library>;<name of your jar file> nameOfPackage.nameOfRunClass parameter[if any]
I will so appreciate if anybody add some useful info to this post

Access restriction on JARs (what is the proper way to get VecMath?)

I need Vecmath, so I went to Oracle to get the latest version of Java 3D. I didn't see a place to download a JAR, but it had an installer. I downloaded and ran it. I assume that the installer added the JAR as a JDK extension
I restarted Eclipse, and it sees that VecMath is present. However, it still complains:
Access restriction: The type Vector3f
is not accessible due to restriction
on required library C:\Program
Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\vecmath.jar
Bummer. I am able to change it from a compiler error to a warning, but it crashes as soon as I try to run it. Although, I'm using this in conjunction with OpenGL, and the crash could have nothing to do with vecmath. I'm not sure. Here is the exception:

I'm using:
x84 Windows 7
Eclipse Helios
JavaSE-1.6
JDK 1.6
What am I doing wrong here?

The exception was caused by being unable to find a file referenced in the code - it has nothing to do with VecMath.
The app runs fine, despite the access restrictions. I don't know if it'll come back to bite me later or what.
