http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30849 [PATCH] null pointer exception in XMLDB transformer Summary: [PATCH] null pointer exception in XMLDB transformer Product: Cocoon 2 Version: Current CVS 2.1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: blocks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The code assumes that DatabaseManager.getCollection raises an XMLDBException for errors, but in fact in at least some cases (non-existent collection), it returns null. The patch reworks the error checking to explicitly raise an exception for this case.
