http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25167 NullPointerException in SocketClient.getRemoteAddress() ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-12-03 17:53 ------- I forgot to add than an argument can be made to protect against the setting of SocketClient._socket_ to a null value by a user-defined subclass, but that can be addressed by documenting a requirement to set SocketClient._socket_ to null only in a constructor or in disconnect() and to assign it a non-null value only in connect(). In general, Commons Net has been implemented to avoid checks for illegal state conditions and delegate responsibility to the programmer not to call connection-dependent methods while disconnected. If we agree to use methods specific to J2SE 1.4, then changing SocketClient.isConnected() to { return (_socket_ != null && _socket_.isConnected()); } would go a long way to helping programmers. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
