NullPointerException from Hashtable via IndirectMap [message #540633] Wed, 16 June 2010 18:45 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm getting a NullPointerException from java.lang.Hashtable because the DirectMapContainerPolicy is calling put on an IndirectMap which uses a Hashtable under the covers with a null key. Looking back in the stack is appears that on line 128 of org.eclipse.persistence.internal.queries.ContainerPolicy is always passes a null for the key field.

Any ideas?

Its hard to say without the stack trace, the conditions the error occurs under and the version of EclipseLink being used. Have you tried the latest from the nightly builds? This will elimitate known fixed bugs as potential causes.

Best Regards,
Chris

I've included the stack trace below. I am running Eclipselink 2.0.1 and I've looked at the nightly source code for 2.0.3, 2.1.0, and 2.2.0 and I didn't see anything that would obviously resolve the NPE. In all of them ContainerPolicy.java in the addInto method passes null for a key which is eventually going to get passed into the put method of the IndirectMap causing the NPE in the Hashtable.

Now I know that Eclipselink 2.0.1 largely works for me and this is the first time I've hit this. I ran the debugger and most of the calls into that ContainerPolicy.addInto happen on vector containers, list containers, or set containers. However, it's this one case where it's getting called when it's a map that it will always throw a NPE because null can't be used as a key on a Hashtable.

Just in case anyone comes across this and is interested in the resolution, I filed a bug against EclipseLink, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=317520, with a proposed patch to fix the exception.

Hello,

In between 2.0.2 and main, the DirectMapContainerPolicy class was removed so the patch is not applicable in future versions. Can you test with the latest and provide the stack trace if it is still an issue?

Regards,
Chris
