Lars Kotthoff commented on SOLR-525: ------------------------------------ Ah, sorry, didn't find that issue. I agree with the original thread reporting this problem that returning a 400 and indicating that a parameter is missing is a better solution. > NullPointerException with no query or empty query > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-525 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-525 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Bug > Components: search > Affects Versions: 1.3 > Environment: Tomcat 5.5 > Reporter: Lars Kotthoff > Priority: Minor > Attachments: solr-search-empty-query.patch, > solr-search-empty-query.patch > > > When calling the search URL with no query or an empty query (i.e. > http://localhost:8080/solr/select/ or http://localhost:8080/solr/select/?q=), > Solr throws a NullPointerException. The value for the query string returned > by the SolrParams object is null, but QueryComponent tries to process it. > I encountered this bug because of a bug in my application calling the search > URL, but arguably the response should be more constructive. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
