Thomas Watson commented on FELIX-5389: -------------------------------------- I have found another issue which is causing the two NPEs reported here: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.felix.resolver.util.CandidateSelector.<init>(CandidateSelector.java:39) java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.felix.resolver.Candidates.prepare(Candidates.java:946) Both these errors are occurring because the capability, requirement, resource equals methods is symmetrical (a.equals(b) == b.equals(a)) when dealing with WrappedResource, WrappedCapability and WrappedRequirement. This causes major issues for our implementations of Map and Set in the resolver. For framework implementations that use the resolver this is not an issue because their implementations of capability, requirement, and resource effectively use identity equality (default Object.equals() behavior). This is because even when the same bundle is installed multiple times in the framework we must treat the two copies of the bundle Resource as unique. BND does not use identity equality for its capability, requirement, resource implementations. Instead it tries to do equality check on the attributes/directives of the requirement or capability and then does an equality check on the resource. It does an equality check on the resource by checking the osgi.content capability of the resource. With this bit of implementation knowledge of BND I decided to work around this by augmenting the osgi.content capability when it is wrapped such that its 'url' key is different. This causes bnd to do the 'right thing' WRT to symmetric equality with the resolver's wrapped objects. I released this fix along with the other issues I found with out of bounds errors. > NullPointerException in Candidates#prepare() method > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: FELIX-5389 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5389 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Resolver > Affects Versions: resolver-1.10.0 > Reporter: matteo rulli > Assignee: Thomas Watson > > Project where the errors appear: > https://github.com/mrulli/com.flairbit.eclipsecon.onesix > ---- > During the resolution of my bundles I get the following stacktrace (to > trigger the resolution, just do {{mvn install}} from the > {{example.cassandra.itest.bndrun}} folder in the project above): > {code} > [ERROR] Failed to execute goal > biz.aQute.bnd:bnd-export-maven-plugin:3.4.0-SNAPSHOT:export (default) on > project example.cassandra.bndrun: null: MojoExecutionException: > NullPointerException -> [Help 1] > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.LifecycleExecutionException: Failed to execute > goal biz.aQute.bnd:bnd-export-maven-plugin:3.4.0-SNAPSHOT:export (default) on > project example.cassandra.bndrun: null > at > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:216) > at > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:153) > at > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:145) > at > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleModuleBuilder.buildProject(LifecycleModuleBuilder.java:116) > at > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleModuleBuilder.buildProject(LifecycleModuleBuilder.java:80) > at > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.builder.singlethreaded.SingleThreadedBuilder.build(SingleThreadedBuilder.java:51) > at > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.LifecycleStarter.execute(LifecycleStarter.java:120) > at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.doExecute(DefaultMaven.java:347) > at org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven.execute(DefaultMaven.java:154) > at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.execute(MavenCli.java:582) > at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.doMain(MavenCli.java:214) > at org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli.main(MavenCli.java:158) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) > at > sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) > at > sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) > at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) > at > org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launchEnhanced(Launcher.java:289) > at > org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:229) > at > org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.mainWithExitCode(Launcher.java:415) > at org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:356) > Caused by: org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException > at aQute.bnd.maven.export.plugin.ExportMojo.execute(ExportMojo.java:52) > at > org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo(DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:132) > at > org.apache.maven.lifecycle.internal.MojoExecutor.execute(MojoExecutor.java:208) > ... 19 more > Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException > at org.apache.felix.resolver.Candidates.prepare(Candidates.java:946) > at > org.apache.felix.resolver.ResolverImpl.getInitialCandidates(ResolverImpl.java:502) > at org.apache.felix.resolver.ResolverImpl.doResolve(ResolverImpl.java:387) > at org.apache.felix.resolver.ResolverImpl.resolve(ResolverImpl.java:375) > at org.apache.felix.resolver.ResolverImpl.resolve(ResolverImpl.java:329) > at biz.aQute.resolve.BndResolver.resolve(BndResolver.java:29) > at biz.aQute.resolve.ResolveProcess.resolveRequired(ResolveProcess.java:75) > at biz.aQute.resolve.ProjectResolver.resolve(ProjectResolver.java:109) > at biz.aQute.resolve.ProjectResolver.getRunBundles(ProjectResolver.java:126) > at aQute.bnd.maven.export.plugin.ExportMojo.resolve(ExportMojo.java:86) > at aQute.bnd.maven.export.plugin.ExportMojo.export(ExportMojo.java:70) > at aQute.bnd.maven.export.plugin.ExportMojo.execute(ExportMojo.java:49) > ... 21 more > {code} > I tried to investigate a little bit this and I found that the NPE is > generated in the {{prepare()}} method - > {{org.apache.felix.resolver.Candidates}} class, within the following snippet: > {code} > m_candidateMap.put(r, cands.copy()); > for (Capability cand : cands.getRemainingCandidates()) > { > Set<Requirement> dependents = m_dependentMap.get(cand); > dependents.remove(origReq); > dependents.add(r); > } > {code} > {{org.apache.felix.resolver.Candidates.m_dependentMap.get}} is invoked with > key > {code} > WrappedCapability: '[slf4j.api version=1.6.1] osgi.wiring.package; > org.slf4j.impl' > m_cap: Provide[osgi.wiring.package]{version=1.6.1, > osgi.wiring.package=org.slf4j.impl}{} > m_host: slf4j.api version=1.6.1 > {code} > and this nullifies {{dependents}} var.
