Question

[Sanjay Acharya]

Hi,

This question might have been asked and answered. If so, please excuse. I have 
been using Restlet-1.1-SNAPSHOT and the following piece of Code on the Server 
Servlet:

 protected Component createComponent() {
        Component component = null;

        // Look for the Component XML configuration file.
        final String configPath = getServletContext().getRealPath(
                "/WEB-INF/restlet.xml");
        final File configFile = new File(configPath);
        .....

throws a NullPointerException when the web app is deployed in a non-exploded 
mode. The exception is:

19:01:16 ERROR - org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext.log(675) | 
StandardWrapper.Throwable
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at java.io.File.(Unknown Source)

I see that 1.1RC1 has the following though:

  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    protected Component createComponent() {
        Component component = null;

        // Look for the Component XML configuration file.
        ServletWarClient client = new ServletWarClient(new Context(),
                getServletContext());
        Response response = client.get("war:///WEB-INF/restlet.xml");
        if (response.getStatus().isSuccess() && response.isEntityAvailable()) {
            component = new Component(response.getEntity());
        }

        if (component == null) {
            final String configPath = getServletContext().getRealPath(
                    "/WEB-INF/restlet.xml");
            if (configPath != null) {
                final File configFile = new File(configPath);
                if (configFile.exists()) {
                    component = new Component(LocalReference
                            .createFileReference(configPath));
                }
            }
        }

Has RC1 fixed the solution mentioned. I apologize for not trying the rc1.1 yet. 
Will try to get to the same today. Just curious if the same has been addressed?

Thanks,
Sanjay
