Hi I'm trying to get the ConnectionInfo from a managedConnection but strangely I get a NullPointerException.

This is my code:
private IConnectionProfile getDatabaseConnectionProfile(
			IConnectionProfile connectionProfile, String str_database)
	{
		IManagedConnection managedConnection = connectionProfile.
				getManagedConnection("org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.sqm." + 
                                                                                                  "core.connection.ConnectionInfo");
		if(managedConnection != null){
			ConnectionInfo conInfo = (ConnectionInfo) managedConnection.
				getConnection().getRawConnection();   // NullPointerExcpetion is happening here
				
			if(conInfo.getDatabaseName().equals(str_database)){
				return connectionProfile;
			}
		}
		return null;
	}


At the moment I'm just a blockhead. I can't find the failure.

Is the connection profile actually connected? I don't believe the managed connection appears until it is.

Have you been able to debug into that code to see where it's failing?

That could be the problem. Since I'm using this method to get the right Connection for my Database when I have more then one connection. But I have to look into details if this was causing the problem.

If you have a better way to get the correct connection for a specific Database without connect to each connection, that would be cool.

Edit: I've got an additional question. I'm using DTP in my Plug-In. Everytime I run my Plug-In I get this error right after starting it.

Is this bad, and how can I solve this?

First, you have to connect in order to get the ConnectionInfo. So far as I know there isn't a way around that. You can connect via API or via the tooling, but it's just the way the framework works.

For the second issue, I haven't a clue. Anything in the log as far as a stack trace goes?
