Tim Allison commented on TIKA-2919: ----------------------------------- W00t! Thank you for closing the loop. After the slog of the last release, I was less than entirely thrilled to learn about a new NPE in < 24 hours of the release. :P Onward! > NullPointerException when parsing PDF with OCR and ToXMLContentHandler > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-2919 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2919 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: handler, ocr > Affects Versions: 1.21 > Reporter: Klemens Dickbauer > Priority: Major > > When parsing a pdf document the handler creates a structure (and fires > appropriate SAX exents) that each page is wrapped into two <div> elements. > The outer one of these has no parent element, so when the subsequent > endElement method is called for "html", a NPE occurs when > currentElement.parent is referenced: > {code:java} > java class ToXMLContentHandler: > public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName) throws > SAXException { > if (this.inStartElement) { > this.write(" />"); > this.inStartElement = false; > } else { > this.write("</"); > this.write(qName); > this.write('>'); > } > this.namespaces.clear(); > this.currentElement = this.currentElement.parent; > } > {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
