Hello, I have a tomcat app that is trying to list available JDBC Datasources it can find in tomcat JNDI Context It fails with NPE when there is a ResourceLink in my app context. It seems to be a bug in org.apache.naming.NamingContextBindingsEnumeration to me, but I may be wrong. A minimal test to reproduce could be to define a global datasource in server.xml<Resource name="jdbc/MY_DS" auth="Container" factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres" username="user" password="pass" maxActive="8" maxIdle="8" minIdle="0" maxWait="15000" initialSize="0" defaultAutoCommit="false" rollbackOnReturn="true" validationQuery="select 1" testOnBorrow="true" timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="45000" validationInterval="60000" /> in context.xml of a tomcat app <ResourceLink name="jdbc/MY_DS" global="jdbc/MY_DS" auth="container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
Executing this code process((Context)new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env"), new ArrayList(), "java:comp/env") with: private void process(Context context, List<String> list, String jNDIPrefix) throws NamingException { NamingEnumeration<Binding> objects = context .listBindings(""); while (objects.hasMore()) { try { Binding binding = objects.next(); Object obj = binding.getObject(); if (obj instanceof DataSource) { ist.add(jNDIPrefix + binding.getName()); } else if (obj instanceof Context) { process((Context) obj, list, jNDIPrefix + binding.getName()); } else if (obj instanceof Reference) { Object res = context.lookup(binding.getName()); if (res instanceof DataSource) { list.add(jNDIPrefix + binding.getName()); } } } catch (NamingException e) { if (sLogger.isDebugEnabled()) { sLogger.debug("Exception while processing one JNDI element", e); } } } } fails with java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.naming.NamingContextBindingsEnumeration.nextElementInternal(NamingContextBindingsEnumeration.java:129) at org.apache.naming.NamingContextBindingsEnumeration.next(NamingContextBindingsEnumeration.java:71) at org.apache.naming.NamingContextBindingsEnumeration.next(NamingContextBindingsEnumeration.java:34) After a quick debugin org.apache.naming.NamingContextBindingsEnumeration.nextElementInternal(), value for the ResourceLink is null (value = ctx.lookup(new CompositeName(entry.name));) but it should not, so the NPE in the return part Even if I am doing something illegal with my code (the recursive processing of the context, but would not see why), there should not be a NPE there anyway. Any thoughts ? Thanks,Arnaud
