NullPointerException in AbstractPathImpl without source path ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-6119 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6119 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager Affects Versions: 3.6.3 Reporter: Michael Rudolf Whenever an instance of org.hibernate.ejb.criteria.paths.AbstractPathImpl does not have a source path (e.g., a criteria query root), missing null checks cause NullPointerExceptions. This is the case, when the get(String) method is used to navigate to a child path and an invalid attribute name is given. In this case, an IllegalArgumentException should be thrown indicating that the attribute with the given name was not found. However, due to missing null checks a NullPointerException is provoked when constructing the IllegalArgumentException instance. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
