Mina route on servicemix - Error executing command: java.lang.NullPointerException

[Francois Eyl]

Hi guys,

I've created a very simple camel route using the mina component. This 
route actually uses a custom Codec and is packaged as osgi bundle. 
Whenever I deploy it to servicemix (apache-servicemix-4.4.1-fuse-03-06) 
the bundle is not getting the Active state but Installed. And of course 
when I try to start it I'm getting a "Error executing command: 
java.lang.NullPointerException" from the console, but nothing in the logs...

Can somebody help me make this work I can't figure out what's 
happening... Is this a packaging issue? I guess it has something to do 
with my codec loading, but I'm stuck here now.

Here is my XML route:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans>
<bean id="myCodec" class="test.net.mina.codec.MyMinaCodec" />
<camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring";>
<route>
<from uri="mina:tcp://localhost:9000?sync=true&amp;codec=#myCodec" />
<to uri="log:IncomingMsg" />
</route>
</camelContext>
</beans>


Here is my codecfactory (removed imports):

package test.net.mina.codec;
public class MyMinaCodec implements
        ProtocolCodecFactory {

    public ProtocolDecoder getDecoder(IoSession session) throws Exception {
        return new MyMinaDecoder();
    }

    public ProtocolEncoder getEncoder(IoSession session) throws Exception {
        return new ProtocolEncoder() {

            public void encode(IoSession arg0, Object arg1, 
ProtocolEncoderOutput arg2) throws Exception {

            }

            public void dispose(IoSession arg0) throws Exception {

            }
        };
    }
}

And here is my decoder implementation (removed imports) :
package test.net.mina.codec;
public class MyMinaDecoder extends CumulativeProtocolDecoder {

    public static final int MSG_HEADER_SIZE = 14;

    @Override
    protected boolean doDecode(IoSession session, IoBuffer in, 
ProtocolDecoderOutput out) throws Exception {
        // try to read the message header
        if (in.remaining() >= MSG_HEADER_SIZE) {
            out.write(readsUnsignedBytesToString(in, MSG_HEADER_SIZE));
            return true;
        } else {
            // not enough data
            return false;
        }
    }

    private String readsUnsignedBytesToString(IoBuffer in, int length) {
        char[] unsignedChars = new char[length];
        for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
            unsignedChars[i] = (char) in.getUnsigned();
        }
        return new String(unsignedChars);
    }
}
