Summary: Model Cache causes NPE in sling.models.impl 1.4.10+ Key: SLING-8858 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8858 Project: Sling Issue Type: Bug Components: Sling Models Affects Versions: Sling Models Impl 1.4.10 Environment: Java SE 1.8.0_231 Reporter: Frank Pauleickhoff In AEM 6.4 ServicePack 6 we face NullPointerExceptions when using the Sling model cache that used to work before (in SP 3). *Exception Stacktrace is:* {code:java} 22.11.2019 15:29:22.525 *ERROR* [127.0.0.1 [1574432957337] GET /content/mypage.html HTTP/1.1] org.apache.sling.engine.impl.SlingRequestProcessorImpl service: Uncaught SlingException org.apache.sling.scripting.sightly.SightlyException: org.apache.sling.api.SlingException: Cannot get DefaultSlingScript: org.apache.sling.api.SlingException: Cannot get DefaultSlingScript: org.apache.sling.api.SlingException: Cannot get DefaultSlingScript: org.apache.sling.api.SlingException: Cannot get DefaultSlingScript: org.apache.sling.api.SlingException: Cannot get DefaultSlingScript: org.apache.sling.api.SlingException: Cannot get DefaultSlingScript: Identifier xx.xxx.MyModel cannot be correctly instantiated by the Use API [...] Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null at org.apache.sling.models.impl.ModelAdapterFactory.internalCreateModel(ModelAdapterFactory.java:407) at org.apache.sling.models.impl.ModelAdapterFactory.createModel(ModelAdapterFactory.java:314) {code} Problem seems to be related to introduction of WeakReferences in SLING-7586. Without knowing any details and being deeply into the Sling Model Caching implementation, I think a null-check is missing for "SoftReference" in Line 407: {code:java} SoftReference<Object> SoftReference = adaptableCache.get(requestedType); ModelType cachedObject = (ModelType) SoftReference.get(); {code} That seems to cause caching to throw NPE for any not yet cached model. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
