Hi Kevin,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Highly appreciate your help. Here are required
details.
The version is 2.0.8
The context is this.. trying to read a html file over http and parse values
of some hidden attributes in the html form.
Here is the code.. the exception occurs at the line marked below. Occurs
randomly and is not reproducable at will.
The string passed to contains() is never null and is always checked for true
before calling getMatch(). Please check if Iam missing something.
******************class that contains the code that throws the
exception************
public class Parser
{
private static Pattern diTag;
private static PatternMatcher primaryMatcher = new Perl5Matcher() ;
private static PatternCompiler compiler = new Perl5Compiler() ;
public static void initialize(){
.
.
.
}
public Parser( StringBuffer input)
{
this.input = input ;
}
public Vector parse()
{
Vector returnValue=null;
PatternMatcherInput patternMatcherInput = new
PatternMatcherInput(input.toString());
int previous = 0 ;
while(primaryMatcher.contains(patternMatcherInput,diTag))
{
MatchResult result = primaryMatcher.getMatch(); //exception is thrown
here....
String dataString =
input.substring(previous,patternMatcherInput.getMatchBeginOffset());
String tag = result.group(1);
String inputS = result.group(2);
try
{
returnValue=processDITag( tag.toUpperCase(),inputS ) ;
previous = patternMatcherInput.getCurrentOffset() ;
}
catch(NotHandledException nh)
{
previous = patternMatcherInput.getMatchBeginOffset() ;
}
}
return returnValue;
}
public Vector processDITag( String tag, String inputString ) throws
NotHandledException
{
.
.
.
}
}
******************code that calls the method in the above
class*******************************
diHTML = readInputFile(queryParametersBean.getSurveyName()); //reads the
data from a html file over http
if(diHTML.length()==0)
{
LogWriter.info(CLASS_NAME,"loadPageEvent(HttpServletRequest req)","The
file name is not available" + sHtmlPath);
sFileName=ConfigBean.getProperty(sSerPathFileName); // replace with exact

Some context and code in which this fails and data with which this fails
would help.
Also the version you are using would help.
However, inspecting 2.0.6 code (which is the most handy on the machine I'm
on -- I suspect other code is similar),
there is only one place in __setLastMatchResult() where you can get a NPE.
__lastMatchResult is non-null. OpCode is non-null. However,
__originalInput MIGHT be null. Hence you can get a NPE where the
__originalInput.length is tested. Check your code whether the string in
contains() is null, and always check if the result is true.
E.g.,
private PatternCompiler m_compiler = new Perl5Compiler();
private PatternMatcher m_matcher = new Perl5Matcher();
private Pattern m_commentRegex = m_compiler.compile ( "#" );
/** Extract comment from string. */
public String findComment ( String s )
{
if ( s == null ) return null;
if ( m_matcher.contains ( s, m_commentRegex ) )
{
MatchResult result = m_matcher.getMatch();
String comment = s.substring ( result.endOffset(0) );
return comment;
}
return null;
}
Enjoy.

Hello,
I occassionally get the below exception. The call to getMatch is causing a
NullPointerException.
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.oro.text.regex.Perl5Matcher.__setLastMatchResult(Unknown
Source)
at org.apache.oro.text.regex.Perl5Matcher.getMatch(Unknown Source)
Here is what the API documentation says,
A MatchResult instance containing the pattern match found by the last call
to any one of the matches() or contains() methods. If no match was found by
the last call, returns null.
I believe this is a bug. Can you guys, please confirm?
If so, is there a fix or a workaround for this bug?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Balaji Prabhakaran
