UrlSet excludePaths() method throws a nullpointer exception if the pathString argument is null ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: XBEAN-92 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-92 Project: XBean Issue Type: Bug Environment: IBM JDK 5 Reporter: karan singh malhi Priority: Blocker With IBM JDK 5, when we try to get the system property java.endorsed.dirs, it returns null. This is a critical issue as it prevents OpenEjb from starting In UrlSet, the following method will lead to a NullPointerException: public UrlSet excludeJavaEndorsedDirs() throws MalformedURLException { return excludePaths(System.getProperty("java.endorsed.dirs")); } This is because the excludePaths() method assumes that the pathString argument is always non-null. public UrlSet excludePaths(String pathString) throws MalformedURLException { String[] paths = pathString.split(File.pathSeparator); UrlSet urlSet = this; for (String path : paths) { File file = new File(path); urlSet = urlSet.exclude(file); } return urlSet; } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
