Emmanuel Lecharny updated DIRMINA-684:
--------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: (was: 2.0.0-M4)
2.0.0-M5
Fix Version/s: 2.0.0-RC1
I guess that the issue still exists in 2.0.0-M5?
In any case, a NPE is not acceptable. We must fix it.

> I have a MINA-based server I've written that's up and running and works fine.
> I recently added a new bit of functionality to it, however, and it's now
> throwing NullPointerExceptions intermittently.
> The server uses a text-based protocol (using TextLineCodecFactory). I've
> added the capability to give the server a command line parm which is the name
> of a text file, containing startup commands that the server should execute
> after it starts up. I'm doing this by having the server open a java socket
> to the server's port on localhost, read the text file and write (and flush)
> each command out to the socket.
> This is generally working, and the server is receiving and processing each
> command (not always in the order sent, but I'm guessing that's an outgrowth
> of my using a thread pool, and that's not a problem anyway). But from time to
> time, the server is spitting out this error:

> Noteworthy aspects of my configuration:
> * using the M4 release of MINA
> * I'm not pausing between sending commands; i.e., I'm write and flushing them
> down the socket as quickly as Java can send them
> * I'm using both a read and a write thread pool
> * building my filter chain as follows:
> protocolAcceptor = new NioSocketAcceptor();
> protocolAcceptor.setDefaultLocalAddress(new
> InetSocketAddress(protocolPort));
> protocolAcceptor.setReuseAddress(true);
> DefaultIoFilterChainBuilder filterChainBuilder =
> protocolAcceptor.getFilterChain();
> filterChainBuilder.addLast("logger", new
> LoggingFilter(ProfileCacheServer.class));
> readerThreadPool = new OrderedThreadPoolExecutor();
> filterChainBuilder.addLast("readExecutor", new
> ExecutorFilter(readerThreadPool, IoEventType.MESSAGE_RECEIVED));
> filterChainBuilder.addLast("codec", new ProtocolCodecFilter(new
> TextLineCodecFactory(ParseConstants.UTF8_CHARSET)));
> writerThreadPool = new OrderedThreadPoolExecutor();
> filterChainBuilder.addLast("writeExecutor", new
> ExecutorFilter(writerThreadPool, IoEventType.WRITE));
> protocolAcceptor.setHandler(protocolHandler);
> I actually did find a way to "fix" this problem but someone on the mailing
> list suggested that MINA shouldn't be throwing NPE's regardless. Fix is as
> follows: I was originally just dropping the connection on the client side
> when I was finished. But after changing my code to issue a proper "close
> connection" command to the server before disconnecting, it looks like the
> NPE's go away.
