Problem using WMS from GeoServer

Question

Hi everybody,

I've a problem using a WMS layer from the/a GeoServer.
I can use the WMS-Layers in other WMS-capable GIS (like ArcGIS Desktop, Quantum GIS, OpenLayers) but not in the Java-Runtime.

I get the following error: java.lang.NullPointerException
       at com.esri.core.internal.action.wms.WMSCapabilities.a(Unknown Source)
       at com.esri.core.internal.action.wms.WMSCapabilities.c(Unknown Source)

Here is a quick update.
We have seen some positive testing results with GeoServer WMS layers, from using the next release of the SDK coming in a few weeks. We wanted to update you with some positive cheer as we head to the new year, and we are hopeful this 10.1.1 release will address the issue to your satisfaction.

Stay tuned.
