> NPE thrown when using a custom exchange in a replyTo address.
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-3011
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3011
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Java Client
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Reporter: Rajith Attapattu
> Assignee: Rajith Attapattu
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.9
>
>
> The NPE is due to the generateDestination method in
> AbstractAMQMessageDelegate.java not handling the case where the _exchangeMap
> does not contain information about a particular exchange.
> This _exchangeMap is pre populated with the known exchange types and any
> other exchange it discovers subsequently through the updateExchangeMethod.
> However if it encounters an exchange which is not represented in the map,
> that case is not handled.
> For example the following address is likely to cause an NPE if it is used as
> a replyTo address and wasn't used previously by any of the producers or
> consumers for that particular session.
> "hello;{create:always,node:{type:topic}}"
> The solution to this problem should be two fold IMO
> 1. Handle the null case - if information regarding an exchange is not
> present, create an ExchangeInfo object using the exchange-name, "" as the
> exchange class and UNKOWN as the destination type and use that to create the
> destination.
> If this destination is then used in a consumer or a producer, the address
> resolution code will query the broker and figure out the correct information.
> However it would have been better if information could be queried an
> updated right within the the generateDestination method - but at present that
> does not seem to be easy to deal with.
> 2. Query and update the exchange information for the replyTo address (if
> present) just as we would for the "exchange" where the message originated
> from.
> This is done within the updateExchangeTypeMapping method in
> AMQMessageDelegate_0_10.java
