Calling SchemaType.isSkippedAnonymousType() can throw a NPE -----------------------------------------------------------
Key: XMLBEANS-260 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLBEANS-260 Project: XMLBeans Type: Bug Components: XmlObject Versions: Version 2.1 Environment: Java 1.5, Windows XP Reporter: Luke Peters Fix For: Version 2.1 If isSkippedAnonymousType() is called on a SchemaType instance that does not have _outerSchemaTypeRef set, then a NPE will be thrown. Example: MyXmlBean myBean = MyXmlBean.Factory.newInstance(); boolean isSkipped = myBean.schemaType().isSkippedAnonymousType(); <- throws a NPE It seems that it should return false in this instance, rather than throw an exception. All this needs to fix is to add a null check. I'm not sure which versions exactly are effected, but it is an issue in 2.1. Current code: public boolean isSkippedAnonymousType() { return _outerSchemaTypeRef.get().getBaseType() == this || _outerSchemaTypeRef.get().getContentBasedOnType() == this; } Potential fix: public boolean isSkippedAnonymousType() { return _outerSchemaTypeRef == null ? false : _outerSchemaTypeRef.get().getBaseType() == this || _outerSchemaTypeRef.get().getContentBasedOnType() == this; } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
