[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1532?page=comments#action_12378678 ]
Paul McMahan commented on GERONIMO-1532: ---------------------------------------- verified that: 1.) manually placing a jar with a properly formatted name into the repo makes it appear in the db wizard's list of available drivers 2.) manually placing a jar with an improperly formatted name into the repo (at any location) does not cause an error in db wizard. The jar file is ignored. This JIRA can be closed unless further verification is desired. > NullPointerException when a badly named jar is put into repository directory > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-1532 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1532 > Project: Geronimo > Type: Bug > Security: public(Regular issues) > Components: console > Versions: 1.0 > Reporter: Heikki Linnakangas > Assignee: Aaron Mulder > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.1 > Attachments: listURIs.diff > > I copied a JDBC driver jar to geronimo/repository-directory, thinking that > geronimo would pick it up from there. What I didn't know, is that jars in the > repository need to be named in a particular way. > I then tried to add a Database pool using the wizard. I filled the name and > type in step 1, and clicked next. Instead of step 2, I got a blank screen, > and this stack trace in the log: > 14:30:33,322 ERROR [DatabasePoolPortlet] Unable to render portlet > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.apache.geronimo.console.databasemanager.wizard.DatabasePoolPortlet.loadDriverJARList(DatabasePoolPortlet.java:750) > at > org.apache.geronimo.console.databasemanager.wizard.DatabasePoolPortlet.renderBasicParams(DatabasePoolPortlet.java:721) > at > org.apache.geronimo.console.databasemanager.wizard.DatabasePoolPortlet.doView(DatabasePoolPortlet.java:625) > at javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.doDispatch(GenericPortlet.java:250) > at javax.portlet.GenericPortlet.render(GenericPortlet.java:178) > ... > The culprit seems to be the FileSystemRepository.listURIs-method, that > doesn't handle invalid filenames properly, but returns nulls in the array it > returns instead. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
