NullPointerException due to misconfigured watched dir -----------------------------------------------------
Key: FELIX-1235 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-1235 Project: Felix Issue Type: Bug Components: File Install Affects Versions: fileinstall-1.0.0 Environment: Windows [Vista|XP] Reporter: Guido Spadotto Fix For: fileinstall-1.2.0 The "traverse" method of the DirectoryWatcher class will raise a NPE if the provided "jardir" parameter does not point to a directory. The for loop inside that method should read: for (int i = 0; (list!=null) && (i < list.length); i++){...} To avoid hiding the configuration problem, the constructor of the DirectoryWatcher class could be amended like this: ... this.watchedDirectory = new File(dir); if (!this.watchedDirectory.exists()){ if (!this.watchedDirectory.mkdirs()) { throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create directory " + this.watchedDirectory.getAbsolutePath());} }else{ if (this.watchedDirectory.isDirectory()){ log(this.watchedDirectory.getAbsolutePath() + " already existing", null); }else{ log(this.watchedDirectory.getAbsolutePath() + " exists, but is not a directory", null); throw new RuntimeException(this.watchedDirectory.getAbsolutePath()+" exists, but is not a directory"); } } Object value = properties.get(START_NEW_BUNDLES); ... -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
