NPE during WPSFactory instantiation if ows:Abstract element is missing/null in DescriptionType ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOT-2717 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-2717 Project: GeoTools Issue Type: Bug Components: new modules Affects Versions: 2.6-M2 Reporter: Matthias Lendholt Priority: Minor I got NullPointerExceptions creating a new WPSFactory. The first one happens in org.geotools.data.wps.WPSFactory: private void buildValuesFromProcessDescriptionType(): this.description = this.pdt.getAbstract().getValue(); In net.opengis.wps10.impl.DescriptionTypeImpl getAbstract() returns _abstract and I cannot see any checks that avoid returning null. Trying .getValue() results in the NPE. Since the child element "ows:Abstract" of "DescriptionType" is optional (http://schemas.opengis.net/wps/1.0.0/common/DescriptionType.xsd) it must be checked if null is returned or not. Like this.description = this.pdt.getAbstract()==null?"":this.pdt.getAbstract().getValue(); It's not up to me to decide whether an empty String "" or null for this.description should be used. Using null will result in an IllegalArgumentException in getDescription() during conversion into an InternationalString object. The same problem in org.geotools.data.wps.WPSUtils twice: 1) createInputParamMap(..) Creating the new Parameter Parameter param = new Parameter(idt.getIdentifier().getValue(), type, Text.text(idt.getTitle().getValue()), Text.text(idt.getAbstract().getValue()), required, idt.getMinOccurs().intValue(), idt.getMaxOccurs().intValue(), null, null); 2) createOutputParamMap(..) Parameter param = new Parameter(odt.getIdentifier().getValue(), type, Text.text(odt.getTitle().getValue()), Text.text(odt.getAbstract().getValue()) ); -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
