I am trying to import a json in spoon. It works just fine with a file .json but when I try it from a URL I get the Unexpected Error, followed by the java null pointer exception, when executing the transformation.
I get the same error with "JSON input", and with "Get content" followed by "extract from stream" which seems to be very alike.
For the simple test I used for URL : http://echo.jsontest.com/name/James/age/25
I tried with the "Json INPUT", selected the checkbox field as an URL, tried with the URL above (with and without the http://). And in the fields parametre I used the same ones that worked well with a file input (instead of URL). So the JSONPATH are $.name and $.age
I also tried starting from the sample data "Json input - read incoming stream" and switching it to URL like it was described in this post : http://forums.pentaho.com/showthread.php?135741-Issues-with-JSON-Input-step
I am working on a distant server running on debian (jessie version). I use pentaho 6.1
I feel like I've tried everything but I might be missing something obvious.
I apologize for my poor level of english. If more information is needed just ask. Thank you.
