Oliver Heger updated CONFIGURATION-431:
---------------------------------------
Priority: Major (was: Critical)
Fix Version/s: 2.0
Setting fix version to 2.0 because a fix would probably break binary
compatibility.
> Code caused NullPointer error in XMLConfiguration
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CONFIGURATION-431
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-431
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Reporter: gentboy
> Fix For: 2.0
>
>
> In class XMLConfiguration there is a code structure like below:
> public static void main(String[] args) {
> new B();
> }
> static abstract class A {
> A(){
> print();
> }
> abstract void print();
> }
>
> static class B extends A{
> String s = new String("asdf");
> B(){
> super();
> }
>
> void print(){
> System.out.println(s);
> }
> }
> While in B.print the field s is actually not initialized because it is called
> from the super() method.
> In XMLConfiguration the not properly initialized field is registeredEntities,
> which will defenitly cause nullpointer in some case.
