http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28871 StandardHostDeployer throws a NPE when removing a context Summary: StandardHostDeployer throws a NPE when removing a context Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.1.30 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The deployer can throw a NPE while removing a context (remove method) because the docbase may not be an absolute path so the parentFile would return null in the following code: File contextFile = new File(context.getDocBase()); File baseDir = contextFile.getParentFile(); if (appBase.getCanonicalPath().equals(baseDir.getCanonicalPath ())) { isAppBase = true; } To be consistent with all the code in the app, it should probably be something like: File contextFile = new File(context.getDocBase()); if (!contextFile .isAbsolute()){ contextFile = new File(System.getProperty("catalina.base"), contextFile); } File baseDir = contextFile.getParentFile(); --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
