NullPointerException using JDBC Request Test Step in Final 3.5 release

The final release for 3.5 reports a NullPointerException for a JDBC Request using oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver and a connection string of the form jdbc:oracle:thin:/@:1521/.  Here is the stacktrace:

This was working in version 3.5 beta 2 (both Pro and Standard). This line of code was added between beta and final in JdbcSubmit.getDatabaseConnection():

pass = PropertyExpander.expandProperties( context, testStep.getPassword() ).trim();

    Hi again,

    you could try adding an " " password to the JDBC Connection configuration, does that help?

    regards!

    I'm fairly new to soapUI, so I qualify my response with "I could be wrong...", but it does not appear that the standard version of 3.5 allows one to specify a password as part of the JDBC configuration for the JDBC Test Step. I see that the Pro allows this, but don't see how to do this in the standard version (other than programmatically).

    Thanks for your replies Ole.  I haven't yet tried the nightly build. I may give that a try in the next couple of days.

    Tested with recommended nightly build, it seems to be working now. Thanks for the replies.
    Just a heads up, the installation version of the nightly build doesn't seem to be working for windows. Currently under Windows XP. Installator gives an unexpected error, so I had to use the soapui-3.5-windows-bin.zip instead.
