Reporter: Henning Schmiedehausen (was: Henning Schmiedehausen)
> Anakia throws NullPointerException if run under Maven with Custom Contexts
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: VELOCITY-367
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-367
> Project: Velocity
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Anakia
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Environment: Operating System: Linux
> Platform: All
> Reporter: Henning Schmiedehausen
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: ASF.LICENSE.NOT.GRANTED--anakia.patch
>
>
> The AnakiaTask has the feature to use a custom context object. This is tested
> in
> the AnakiaTestCase. However, when running this test (and the AnakiaTask) under
> Maven, it fails with a NullPointerException. The reason is that maven uses a
> different sequence to initialize the AnakiaTask and Context objects and set
> their properties. When running under ant, the setFile() method in the Context
> object is called after setBaseDir() in the AnakiaTask, which allows setFile()
> to
> resolve the baseDir member. When running under maven, setBasedir() is called
> after the Context object has been initialized thus using a null baseDir
> element
> when creating the contextFile element in Context.
> When using an element outside the current working directory, this leads to
> subContext.getContextDocument() returning null in line 378, thus resulting in
> a
> NullPointerException.
> The attached patch adds checks for this condition and throws a BuildExeption.
> It
> also defers the creation of the contextDoc member of the context until it is
> actually referenced.
