Jesse Glick commented on FELIX-3477: ------------------------------------ FWIW, a bit more information gleaned from the debugger. The class on which getMethod is being called is something like this: class SFS extends FileSystem implements LookupListener { @Override public void resultChanged(LookupEvent ev) {...} } where the superclass has class FileSystem public void addFileChangeListener(FileChangeListener l); public void removeFileChangeListener(FileChangeListener l); } and someone has attached a weak FileChangeListener to this SFS instance. (The SFS also called addLookupListener(this) on another object.) Now later, during bundle unloading, the weak FCL is collected, and the cleanup thread tries to call removeFCL on the SFS, so it uses Class.getMethod to find this method. But that delegates to Class.getDeclaredMethods0, which calls loadClass on LookupEvent, presumably since no lookup event happened to be delivered in the body of this test. If LookupEvent has not been preloaded (as in the FELIX-2128 workaround), an exception is thrown. I checked in a demo class what happens if loadClass in this case does throw CNFE, since getDeclaredMethods0 does not rethrow it; seems that a NoClassDefFoundError is rethrown, which is not ideal but OK (matches what FELIX-2128 produces). > NPE in BundleWiringImpl.searchImports > ------------------------------------- > > Key: FELIX-3477 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3477 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Bug > Components: File Install > Affects Versions: framework.security-1.0.0 > Environment: JDK 6u31, Ubuntu > Reporter: Jesse Glick > > NetBeans unit tests in the org.netbeans.core.osgi module pass but print a lot > of stack traces when run against Felix 4.0.2: > Apr 23, 2012 7:06:57 PM org.openide.util.lookup.implspi.ActiveQueue$Daemon run > WARNING: Cannot process > org.openide.util.WeakListenerImpl$ListenerReference@1ce1bea > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl.searchImports(BundleWiringImpl.java:1508) > at > org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl.findClassOrResourceByDelegation(BundleWiringImpl.java:1427) > at > org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl.access$400(BundleWiringImpl.java:72) > at > org.apache.felix.framework.BundleWiringImpl$BundleClassLoader.loadClass(BundleWiringImpl.java:1843) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247) > at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods0(Native Method) > at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Class.java:2427) > at java.lang.Class.getMethod0(Class.java:2670) > at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1603) > at > org.openide.util.WeakListenerImpl$ListenerReference.getRemoveMethod(WeakListenerImpl.java:614) > at > org.openide.util.WeakListenerImpl$ListenerReference.run(WeakListenerImpl.java:572) > at > org.openide.util.lookup.implspi.ActiveQueue$Daemon.run(ActiveQueue.java:185) > (The ActiveQueue thread in this case is looking for listeners attached via > weak references which have since been collected, so that the stub listener > can be cleanly detached from the observable object.
