Workaround for Java exception
Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Q:
I was testing something and didn't want any transactions to actually go through, so I put a veto on the Pub Event Transform channel to stop everything from getting through the driver. So a document came in and was vetoed, but the driver did a Java null-pointer exception and aborted.
A:
It's definitely a bug, but you can work around it if you want to: In your output transformation look for an empty output element and if found, put in a
<xsl:template match="output[not(child::*)]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
<status level="success"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
This will avoid the null-pointer exception. Novell knows about this; it should be fixed at some point in the future.
