[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (GTNPORTAL-3107) NullPointerException during Portlet Deployment when there is no <display-name> in web.xml

NullPointerException during Portlet Deployment when there is no <display-name> in web.xml ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: GTNPORTAL-3107 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-3107 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Peter Palaga Assignee: Vu Viet Phuong Labels: worked Original Estimate: 1 day Time Spent: 4 hours Remaining Estimate: 0 minutes I am not sure if this is a bug or feature. Anyway, GateIn does not like WARs which do not have {{<display-name>}} in their {{web.xml}}. I guess the portal should be able to work around the non-availabbility of an explicit <display-name> through working with the default one? Steps to reproduce: * Take any quickstart from https://github.com/gatein/gatein-portal-quickstart, e.g. simplest-hello-world-portlet * remove {{<display-name>}} from {{web.xml}} * Compile & deploy * Expected: The portal should swallow the portlet app without any error. * Current: The portal throws this NPE {code} 09:20:11,195 ERROR [org.exoplatform.web.application.javascript.JavascriptConfigDeployer] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 93) An error occurs while registering 'Javascript in gatein-resources.xml' from the context 'null': java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The context name cannot be null at org.exoplatform.container.definition.PortalContainerConfig.getPortalContainerNames(PortalContainerConfig.java:502) [exo.kernel.container-2.4.3-GA-redhat-1.jar:2.4.3-GA-redhat-1] at org.exoplatform.container.PortalContainer.addInitTask(PortalContainer.java:474) [exo.kernel.container-2.4.3-GA-redhat-1.jar:2.4.3-GA-redhat-1] at org.exoplatform.web.application.javascript.JavascriptConfigDeployer.add(JavascriptConfigDeployer.java:96) [exo.portal.component.web.resources-3.6.0.Beta02-redhat-1.jar:3.6.0.Beta02-redhat-1] at org.exoplatform.web.application.javascript.JavascriptConfigDeployer.onEvent(JavascriptConfigDeployer.java:71) [exo.portal.component.web.resources-3.6.0.Beta02-redhat-1.jar:3.6.0.Beta02-redhat-1] at org.gatein.wci.ServletContainer.safeFireEvent(ServletContainer.java:319) [wci-wci-2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1.jar:2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1] at org.gatein.wci.ServletContainer.fireEvent(ServletContainer.java:338) [wci-wci-2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1.jar:2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1] at org.gatein.wci.ServletContainer.access$400(ServletContainer.java:56) [wci-wci-2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1.jar:2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1] at org.gatein.wci.ServletContainer$RegistrationImpl.registerWebApp(ServletContainer.java:462) [wci-wci-2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1.jar:2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1] at org.gatein.wci.jboss.JB7ServletContainerContext.start(JB7ServletContainerContext.java:369) [wci-jboss7-2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1.jar:2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1] at org.gatein.wci.jboss.JB7ServletContainerContext.lifecycleEvent(JB7ServletContainerContext.java:223) [wci-jboss7-2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1.jar:2.3.1.CR05-redhat-1] at org.apache.catalina.util.LifecycleSupport.fireLifecycleEvent(LifecycleSupport.java:115) [jbossweb-7.2.0.Final-redhat-1.jar:7.2.0.Final-redhat-1] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3772) [jbossweb-7.2.0.Final-redhat-1.jar:7.2.0.Final-redhat-1] at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.WebDeploymentService.doStart(WebDeploymentService.java:156) [jboss-as-web-7.2.0.Final-redhat-8.jar:7.2.0.Final-redhat-8] at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.WebDeploymentService.access$000(WebDeploymentService.java:60) [jboss-as-web-7.2.0.Final-redhat-8.jar:7.2.0.Final-redhat-8] at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.WebDeploymentService$1.run(WebDeploymentService.java:93) [jboss-as-web-7.2.0.Final-redhat-8.jar:7.2.0.Final-redhat-8] at java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:471) [rt.jar:1.7.0_19] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:334) [rt.jar:1.7.0_19] at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:166) [rt.jar:1.7.0_19] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) [rt.jar:1.7.0_19] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) [rt.jar:1.7.0_19] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) [rt.jar:1.7.0_19] at org.jboss.threads.JBossThread.run(JBossThread.java:122) {code}
