> 'java.lang.NullPointerException' is thrown when starting a master db before a
> slave one
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-3454
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3454
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Replication
> Affects Versions: 10.4.0.0
> Reporter: Serge Tsv
> Assignee: V.Narayanan
>
> The 'java.lang.NullPointerException' exception is thrown when a database is
> started in a master mode and is trying to establish a connection to an slave
> database socket, which is not available.
> The exception is by the MasterController#startMaster(). First, it tries to
> setup connection with a slave database using a transmitter:
> MasterController#setupConnection
> -> transmitter = new ReplicationMessageTransmit();
> transmitter.initConnection()
> -> new InetSocketAddress() -> createSocket() -> connect()
> The connect() method throws a ConnectException, and so fails to create a
> socketConn instance. The exception is then wrapped several times an
> propagated back to the MasterController#startMaster() method. It's caught
> there and then a MasterController#teardownNetwork() method is called, which
> tries to send a STOP message using the aforementioned transmitter, which
> hasn't been able to init a connection.
> A transmitter simply tries to call socketConn.writeMessage(message), which
> throws NPE because socketConn is null.
> Thanks!
