Potential NullPointerException from HtmlResponseWriterImpl.writeAttribute()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-599
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-599
Project: MyFaces
Type: Bug
Versions: 1.1.0
Environment: Any
Reporter: Kris Nuttycombe
org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlResponseWriterImpl.writeAttribute() can
throw a NullPointerException if the value passed for the attribute value is
null because of a call to value.toString(). I'm not sure what the correct
failure-tolerant behavior would be - the method throws NullPointerException
explicitly with a detail message if the name is null, but the value being null
is a common enough occurrance that the method should either:
* Render an empty string as the value of the attribute
* Return without rendering the attribute at all and log a warning
I will provide a patch to supply whatever functionality is deemed appropriate,
if desired.
