ASF GitHub Bot commented on CXF-7349: ------------------------------------- GitHub user andymc12 opened a pull request: https://github.com/apache/cxf/pull/270 CXF-7349: NPE when thread context classloader is null A null context classloader is valid - it means that the JVM's boot classloader is the context. When using the ClassLoaderUtils class, there are a few places where we get the thread's context classloader, but don't check it for null before invoking methods on it - such as getResource/getResources/etc. This change ensures that we get a non-null classloader by using the system classloader when the current thread context classloader is null.

Ex: > URL url = > Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(resourceName); > The call to getContextClassLoader() could return null - that is a valid > return from that method. In that case, we should use > ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() instead. > This issue was reported on in the users mailing list: > http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/NPE-in-cxf-core-ClassLoaderUtils-possible-bug-td5780007.html -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
