> NullPointerException in PropertiesLoaderUtils
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CXF-5822
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-5822
> Project: CXF
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 2.6.14
> Reporter: Christoph Eßer
> Assignee: Sergey Beryozkin
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.6.15, 2.7.12, 3.0.1
>
>
> Under some circumstances in our project
> {{Thread.currentThread().getContextClasssLoader()}} is {{null}}. This leads
> to a {{NullPointerException}} when
> org.apache.cxf.common.util.PropertiesLoaderUtils.loadAllProperties() is
> called with that as an argument.
> This is the specific part of the code that contains the problem:
> {code:title=PropertiesLoaderUtils.java|borderStyle=solid}
> /**
> * Load all properties from the given class path resource, using the given
> * class loader.
> * <p>
> * Merges properties if more than one resource of the same name found in
> the
> * class path.
> *
> * @param resourceName the name of the class path resource
> * @param classLoader the ClassLoader to use for loading (or
> * <code>null</code> to use the default class loader)
> * @return the populated Properties instance
> * @throws IOException if loading failed
> */
> public static Properties loadAllProperties(String resourceName,
> ClassLoader classLoader)
> throws IOException {
> return loadAllProperties(resourceName, classLoader, null, null, null);
> }
> public static Properties loadAllProperties(String resourceName,
> ClassLoader classLoader,
> Logger logger, Level level,
> String msg)
> throws IOException {
> Properties properties = new Properties();
> Enumeration<URL> urls = classLoader.getResources(resourceName);
> ...
> {code}
> The Javadoc says that {{null}} is a valid value for this argument. However,
> the code does not check the variable for {{null}} and just calls
> {{classLoader.getResources(resourceName)}}. This check should be added and
> {{classLoader}} should be set to a reasonable value in case it is {{null}}. I
> will add a pull request for a fix of this issue later.
> Please note that we are bound to Java 1.5 in our project and thus switching
> to CXF 2.7 or 3.0 is not possible for us.
