http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25167 NullPointerException in SocketClient.getRemoteAddress() Summary: NullPointerException in SocketClient.getRemoteAddress() Product: Commons Version: 1.1.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Net AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Description: java program running overnight. Unknown network conditions caused a NullPointerException in the SocketClient class. The client had previously been connected to a remote host. There was not a programmatic disconnect from the remote client. However, there _may_ have been network issues causing a disconnect from the remote client. Stack trace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient.getRemoteAddress(SocketClient.java:502) at com.hp.isee.perftest.harness.resources.TelnetKeepAlive.run(RemoteSystem.java:417) at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Unknown Source) at java.util.TimerThread.run(Unknown Source) Suggestion: I think that a disconnected client should return a null value rather than throw a NullPointerException. I'd recommend changing line 502 of SocketClient.java from 502 return _socket_.getInetAddress(); to 502 if (_socket_ == null) 503 return null; 504 else 505 return _socket_.getInetAddress(); --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
