Guangtai Liang commented on XERCESJ-1554:
-----------------------------------------
Please refer to the invalid schema file which was provided for reproducing the
NPE issue ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1078)
The detailed description about this issue is copied here :
"in case of an invalid schema file with the error "s4s-elt-must-match.2"
(The content of 'identity constraint' must match (annotation?, selector,
field+). Not enough elements were found.) the attribute fSelector might be null
and thus the method getSelectorStr() causes a NPE.
In my case, anylsing invalid schema files (as good as possible) it is important
not to have this exception, so I'm working with my own patched version of
Xerces2-J. It would be nice if you would fix this somewhen.
Example from schema test suite to preproduce:
msxsdtest\identityConstraint\idB059.xsd
My fix is quite simple: just check on null:
Old:
return fSelector.toString();
New:
return fSelector == null ? null : fSelector.toString();
"
If fSelector can be null in such case, I think the null-check should also be
made before the dereference on fSelector in the method "equals".

> 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
> Labels: incomplete_fix, missing_fixes
> Original Estimate: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 10m
>
> 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
