Re: [jetty-users] Getting NullPointerException in ContextHandlerCollecti

[Joakim Erdfelt <joakim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eclipse Jetty 8.x is EOL (End of Life) as of November 2014.

https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/what-jetty-version.html

It is also subject to various security issues at this point (as it's not been kept up to date, a crucial part of public facing server software)

https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/security-reports.html

Please consider upgrading.

Lastly, AsyncContinuation has been dropped entirely in favor of the standard Servlet 3.0 AsyncContext.

Hi All,

I am facing a problem in Jetty version 8.1.x.

Using `asyncContext = (AsyncContinuation) baseRequest.startAsync()` to follow the suspend/resume model which jetty provides. When the request is re-dispatched with asyncContext.resume() I get a NullPointerException() in the following code of ContextHandlerCollection.java.

https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/blob/jetty-8.1.x/jetty-server/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/server/handler/ContextHandlerCollection.java#L190

I see that the asyncContext.getContextHandler() method can return a null and the null check if handled in above code, but still I see a NPE.

Could you please let me understand why NPE is thrown here or am I missing something?

Thanks.
