Category: None Group: dom4j 2.0 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Michael Pradel (mischi) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: NullPointerException from BranchTreeNode.getChildCount() Initial Comment: Calling getChildCount() on a newly created BranchTreeNode raises a NullPointerException. E.g.: LeafTreeNode n = new BranchTreeNode(); n.getChildCount(); // raises NPE This is surprising for two reasons: 1) Calling a getter on a new instance shouldn't raise any exception. 2) Doing the same with LeafTreeNode, the superclass of BranchTreeNode, works fine. I.e. BranchTreeNode is incompatible with its own superclass: LeafTreeNode n = new LeafTreeNode(); n.getChildCount(); // OK Is this inconsistency intended? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=116035&aid=3547784&group_id=16035 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
