An incomplete fix for the NPE bugs in IdentityConstraint.java -------------------------------------------------------------
Key: XERCESJ-1554 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1554 Project: Xerces2-J Issue Type: Bug Components: Other Reporter: Guangtai Liang Priority: Critical The fix revision 320527 was aimed to remove an NPE bug on the "this.fSelector" in the method "getSelectorStr" of the file "/xerces/java/trunk/src/org/apache/xerces/impl/xs/identity/IdentityConstraint.java" , but it is incomplete. Since the "this.fSelector" is a class field and also could be null during the run-time execution, it should also be null-checked before being dereferenced in other methods. The buggy code locations the same fix needs to be applied at are as bellows: Line 148 of the method "equals"; public boolean equals(IdentityConstraint id) { boolean areEqual = fIdentityConstraintName.equals(id.fIdentityConstraintName); if(!areEqual) return false; areEqual = fSelector.toString().equals(id.fSelector.toString()); if(!areEqual) return false; areEqual = (fFieldCount == id.fFieldCount); if(!areEqual) return false; for(int i=0; i<fFieldCount; i++) if(!fFields[i].toString().equals(id.fFields[i].toString())) return false; return true; } // equals -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
