If you have the following code to create a Restlet instance: new Restlet() { public void handle(Request request,Response response) { getContext().getLogger().info("Handling test..."); response.setStatus(Status.SUCCESS_OK,"OK!"); } };
you'll get a null pointer exception because getClass().getCanonicalName() returns null. I've tracked it down to line 75 of Restlet.java in the getContext() method: public Context getContext() { if (this.context == null) this.context = new Context(getClass().getCanonicalName()); return this.context; } There needs to be a default log name: public Context getContext() { if (this.context == null) { String logName = getClass().getCanonicalName(); if (logName==null) { logName = "org.restlet.anonymous"; } this.context = new Context(logName); } return this.context; } --Alex Milowski
