Internal NPE when accessing proxy to a closed server endpoint
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AVRO-842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-842
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.5.1
Environment: generic
Reporter: Holger Hoffstätte
For development of an avro-based transport for remote OSGi services I had to
wrap & unwind transport-level exceptions into proper exceptions thrown to a
client. One such scenario is accessing a disconnected/dead endpoint, which
should be a detectable condition. This works fine with the
SaslSocketTransceiver (where my wrapper can properly detect the IO Exception),
but not with Netty which hiccups with an internal NPE.
Generally speaking any transport-level and remote-endpoint exceptions must not
only be clearly detectable (either directly by client code or wrapper
infrastructure around avro) but also distinguishable from another.
