Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-542:
-----------------------------------
This looks like a duplicate of AVRO-86, which never got applied since it lacked
a test case and we somehow lost track of it. Maybe we should resolve this
issue as a duplicate and set the priority and fix-version of AVRO-86 to make it
a blocker for 1.4.0 so that we make sure it's fixed before the next release?
Does that sound like reasonable plan? Maybe I can even find some time this
afternoon to put together a test case...

> Key: AVRO-542
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-542
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.3.2
> Environment: Java
> Reporter: Douglas Britsch
>
> On line 253 of ReflectData.java the package is retrieved with:
> String space = c.getPackage().getName();
> getPackage is documented to be able to return null, and in practice does with
> generated classes and in certain child classloader scenarios. A safer
> alternative would be to derive the package by parsing the string returned
> from the class's name:
> String space = c.getName().substring(0, name.lastIndexOf('.');
> Thanks
