Erik Scholtz closed PDFBOX-652.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.4.0
Fixed at least in version 1.4.0 and 1.5.0
> ResourceLoader returns NULL on missing Resources
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-652
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-652
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Environment: -all-
> Reporter: Erik Scholtz
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 1.4.0
>
>
> When using pdfbox-1.0.0.jar:
> ---------------------------------------
> public static void main(String[] args) {
> String mystr = org.apache.pdfbox.Version.getVersion();
> System.out.println(mystr);
> }
> Leads to:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
> at org.apache.pdfbox.Version.getVersion(Version.java:52)
> at Test1.main(Test1.java:10)
> Problem:
> ------------
> pdfbox-1.0.0.jar is missing the "pdfbox.version"-Resource, which was still
> available in pdfbox-0.8.0-incubating.jar. So the "getVersion" returns, what
> the Resource-Loader returns: null.
> This leads to the exception descibed above.
> I am wondering, if this behaviour is ok. I think it is missleading and can be
> traced down to a problem in the org.apache.pdfsbox.util.ResourceLoader:
> Beginning in Line 74:
> ----------------------------
> if( is == null )
> {
> File f = new File( resourceName );
> if( f.exists() )
> {
> is = new FileInputStream( f );
> }
> }
> IMHO there should be added an else-statment:
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
> if( is == null )
> {
> File f = new File( resourceName );
> if( f.exists() )
> {
> is = new FileInputStream( f );
> }
> else
> {
> throw new IOException( "Error: could not find resource '" +
> resourceName + "' on classpath." );
> }
> }
> Perhaps it is a good idea to add a Boolean-Flag (boolean failIfNotFound) like
> in the loadProperties-method, so that it is still possible to query for the
> existence of a special Resource.
