[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1931?page=comments#action_12441507 ] Jörg Heinicke commented on COCOON-1931: ---------------------------------------
IMO we should fix the flow, not the symptoms - if it is possible. Where is the NPE thrown? Can you provide a stacktrace? Jörg > Provide more information when compiling a Flowscript fails > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: COCOON-1931 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-1931 > Project: Cocoon > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: - Flowscript > Affects Versions: 2.1.8, 2.1.9, 2.2-dev (Current SVN), 2.1.10-dev (current > SVN) > Reporter: Georg Hüttenegger > Priority: Minor > Attachments: FOM_JavaScriptInterpreter.java.MoreErrorInfoPatch > > > When a flowscript defined in the sitemap cannot be loaded a > NullPointerException is thrown without telling the developer the real cause > of the issue. > The same is true for certain Javascript coding errors (at least missing > closing bracket of a for loop). > The provided patch throws a CascadingRuntimeException with the name of the > flowscript instead of just a simple NullPointerException. In that way the > developer is lead directly to the cause of the problem instead of wondering > what the real issue might be. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
