Consider the case where application code is like zk.create(callBackHandler)` // call to create api and callback handler is passed doSomething(); - - - - // some more stuff At present, if client pass null ACL parameter, the error will be handled by callBackHandler and in application code doSomething() method will execute. But if we throw IllegalArgumentException , then doSomething() method will not execute. So it will change the existing behavior of application code. Please suggest if we really need to handle this case. > Node creation fails with NPE if ACLs are null > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-2804 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2804 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Bhupendra Kumar Jain > > If null ACLs are passed then zk node creation or set ACL fails with NPE > {code} > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.zookeeper.server.PrepRequestProcessor.removeDuplicates(PrepRequestProcessor.java:1301) > at > org.apache.zookeeper.server.PrepRequestProcessor.fixupACL(PrepRequestProcessor.java:1341) > at > org.apache.zookeeper.server.PrepRequestProcessor.pRequest2Txn(PrepRequestProcessor.java:519) > at > org.apache.zookeeper.server.PrepRequestProcessor.pRequest(PrepRequestProcessor.java:1126) > at > org.apache.zookeeper.server.PrepRequestProcessor.run(PrepRequestProcessor.java:178) > {code} > Expected to handle null in server and return proper error code to client -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
