SecurityHandlersManager May stop the application Server when running PDFParser
in a Servlet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: PDFBOX-712
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-712
Project: PDFBox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Parsing
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: [email protected]
When parsing a PDF document within an Application Server, you should never have
a code path which call System.exit()
I am not sure what invokes the Class
org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.SecurityHandlersManager() from with the
code, so I have not a clue how to fix this.
I imagine that the best place to notify PDFBox that it is running in an
application would be something like this.
PDDocument.setApplication(true or false);
I would like to be able to tell the Parser that it is not running as an
application so this code is never hit, but I did not see a way to do this.
catch(Exception e)
{
System.err.println("SecurityHandlersManager strange error with
builtin handlers: " + e.getMessage());
System.exit(1);
}
Bug: new org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.encryption.SecurityHandlersManager() invokes
System.exit(...), which shuts down the entire virtual machine
Pattern id: DM_EXIT, type: Dm, category: BAD_PRACTICE
Invoking System.exit shuts down the entire Java virtual machine. This should
only been done when it is appropriate. Such calls make it hard or impossible
for your code to be invoked by other code. Consider throwing a RuntimeException
instead.
