I was just looking at a slightly related case where we use our own custom tab definition with extra functionality (role check, enable/disable, etc.), which can result in a tab definition without any fields (getFields() returned an empty list, because this particular user doesn't have permission for the tab for instance). This also ends with same NPE, when in 4.5 that particular tab would just not get rendered. I worked around this by returning a single static message field in case a tab would otherwise end up not containing any fields. I would argue that a form definition that yields an empty list of fields should not cause a NPE, but that is something for a bug report.
But then this all doesn't really explain why you end up in this place... -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=f8b123f2-db30-4bc8-acc4-66015a882848 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <user-list-unsubscr...@magnolia-cms.com> ----------------------------------------------------------------
