Fabian Depry created DERBY-6396:
-----------------------------------
Summary: NullPointerException in DirFile
Key: DERBY-6396
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6396
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Miscellaneous
Affects Versions: 10.10.1.1
Environment: Windows 7
Reporter: Fabian Depry
We got a NullPointerException trying to start a Derby database in embedded
mode; the stacktrace indicated it happened in
org.apache.derby.impl.io.DirFile.deleteAll(); that method got called from
org.apache.derby.impl.io.BaseStorageFactory.createTempDir().
After investigating, it appears that the deleteAll() method calls
"super.list()", which according to the java.io.File specifications, can return
null. But the deleteAll() method doesn't handle that case gracefully.
