> Key: SHINDIG-884
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-884
> Project: Shindig
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Gadget Rendering Server (Java)
> Reporter: Adam Winer
> Assignee: Adam Winer
> Priority: Minor
>
> A gadget containing a signed Preload will lead to a NullPointerException if
> no security token is available:
> org.apache.shindig.gadgets.http.AbstractHttpCache.getOwnerId(AbstractHttpCache.java:149)
> org.apache.shindig.gadgets.http.AbstractHttpCache.createKey(AbstractHttpCache.java:130)
> ... as attempts to create the cache key dereference the SecurityToken without
> checking against null.
> The cache can't really do anything smart at this point (though throwing an
> IllegalStateException "no token available for signed request" would be better
> than the NPE). Arguably, the HttpPreloader should just drop the preload
> request and hope that the client can obtain a token via other means (e.g.,
> from the hash).
