NullPointerException thrown for illegal port numbers
----------------------------------------------------
Key: XMLRPC-186
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-186
Project: XML-RPC
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Source
Affects Versions: 3.1.3
Reporter: Fredrik Wendt
Priority: Minor
When you try to use an XmlRpcClient with an address containing an illegal port
number (>65535), you get a {{NullPointerException}}. After debugging I see that
the constructor call to {{java.net.InetSocketAddress}} throws a good exception:
IllegalArgumentException("port out of range"), but this is silently ignored and
null is returned from {{ReflectionSocketFactory}}.
I suggest adding:
{{if (cause instanceof IllegalArgumentException) {
throw (IllegalArgumentException) cause;
}
}}
to give users of XmlRpcClient better error messages.
