Incorrect values of escapeXml in actionURL result in confusing NullPointerException in
JBoss Portlet Container
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBPORTAL-2440
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-2440
Project: JBoss Portal
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
Components: Portal Core
Affects Versions: Portlet-2.0.1
Environment: Any
Reporter: Bernard de Terwangne
Priority: Minor
JSR-286 states that escapeXml defaults to true. This value is almost never appropriate. If
you forget to set it to false explicitly (very common mistake) you get a very confusing
and little explicit NullPointerException.
I suggest to throw a more explicit exception so that developpers don't loose a lot of
time wondering why their apps don't work. I can provide the fix if requested.
