                 Key: ABDERA-388
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ABDERA-388
             Project: Abdera
          Issue Type: Bug

            Reporter: vijayaraghavan
            Priority: Critical


I am using Apache abdera to post multipart request to IBM connection 4.0 API. I 
am getting nullpointer exception from Abdera API. Please let me know what's the 
root cause.

private void createEntryWithAttachment(){
    try {
        String activityId = 
"urn:lsid:ibm.com:oa:662d0dc7-0308-48ee-8291-d730c733d2d1";         
        String activityIdLocal = 
activityId.substring(activityId.lastIndexOf(":")+1, activityId.length());
        String createEntryLocal = createEntry+activityIdLocal;      

        Abdera abdera = new Abdera();
        AbderaClient client = new AbderaClient(abdera);         
        AbderaClient.registerTrustManager();
        System.out.println("pd --->"+pd);
        client.addCookie("poktam2cl.iespc.ibm.com", "PD-S-SESSION-ID", pd, "/", 
null, true);

        RequestOptions requestOptions = client.getDefaultRequestOptions();
        requestOptions.setUseChunked(true);
        requestOptions.setHeader("Connection", "close");
        requestOptions.setHeader("Content-Type", 
"multipart/related;type=\"application/atom+xml\"");                        
        
requestOptions.setContentType("multipart/related;type=\"application/atom+xml\"");
        requestOptions.setSlug("Sample.txt");


        Credentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, 
password);
        client.addCredentials(createEntryLocal, 
AuthScope.ANY_REALM,AuthScope.ANY_SCHEME, credentials);

        Entry entry = abdera.getFactory().newEntry();
        entry.setTitle("create entry with attachment title ");
        entry.setContent("create entry with attachment content");

        javax.xml.namespace.QName field = new 
QName("http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn";, "field", "snx");
        org.apache.abdera.model.Element fieldElement = 
entry.addExtension(field);
        fieldElement.setAttributeValue("type", "file");
        fieldElement.setAttributeValue("name", "sampletextfile1");
        fieldElement.setAttributeValue("position", "3000");

        FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filepath);
        requestOptions.setHeader("Content-Length", "35");

        entry.addCategory("http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/type","entry";, 
"Entry");

        ClientResponse response = client.post(createEntryLocal, entry, fis, 
"multipart/related;type=\"application/atom+xml\"", requestOptions );

        System.out.println("Entry Created with attachment's resp: " + 
response.getStatus());

        if(response.getStatus() == 201){
            System.out.println("Entry Created with attachment successfully 
.....");
            printIBMConnectionErrorMessage(response);
        }else{
            System.out.println("Entry with attachment creation failed");
            printIBMConnectionErrorMessage(response);
            //System.exit(0);
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
} 

Output:

This exception is coming from abdera API, class called 
MultipartRelatedRequestEntity.java, Line no 74. I have placed line no 74 source 
code below. So its clear that contentSrc is null & Abdera API not allowing me 
to set this value. Please let me know what I am missing here.

String contentId = entry.getContentSrc().toString();
