could be with 1.3 as well, but definetly with 1.4 on linux. Some code which I checked in a tested yesterday under 1.4 magically stopped working today. I sometimes get a NPE at log.debug() inside Util.getBoolean():
<snip> public interface NestedThrowable extends Serializable { // ... final class Util { private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(NestedThrowable.class); /** A helper to get a boolean property. */ protected static boolean getBoolean(String name, boolean defaultValue) { name = NestedThrowable.class.getName() + "." + name; String value = System.getProperty(name, String.valueOf(defaultValue)); log.debug(name + "=" + value); // NPE here return new Boolean(value).booleanValue(); } </snip> If I change log to be non-final and try to init log if it is null, then it works fine. Anyone know what is up with this? --jason _______________________________________________________________ Hundreds of nodes, one monster rendering program. Now that’s a super model!
