Jonas, I must start by saying that I have not yet had a need to play with the ARDBC API.
However, this part of your post caught my eye... "I started off by downloading the 7.1 Java ARDBC/filter plugin sample from http://developer.bmc.com/communities/docs/DOC-2548."; VS " I'm running ARS 7.5 on win2k3 " If you are using a "major release"(7.1 vs 7.5) newer of the ARS server (and likely the plug in server too) then I would suggest that you at least start with the v7.5 Java API. You may simply be struggling with differences between the two versions. Beyond that...... I would try to hunt down the null pointer exception. :) I know it sounds dumb... but at least make your code fail in a better way. If you have not yet used it, I would suggest the use of log4j ( http://logging.apache.org/log4j/ ) to produce a good way to do logging outside of the ARS API. (Although you may be able to use the Java API to do logging functions too. I think I remember seeing some details about that in the v7.5 api docs.)
