-------------------------------------
Yes I see what you mean. I will add only a null check for the session.
Shouldn't the catch block be logging an warn instead of debug or info ?
NPE thrown in SecurityContextAssociationValve.
----------------------------------------------
Key: AS7-3276
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3276
Project: Application Server 7
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Web
Affects Versions: 7.1.0.CR1b
Environment: On any platform running Java.
OpenJDK 6.
Reporter: Jeremy Whiting
Assignee: Remy Maucherat
Labels: patch
Attachments: npe-valve-logging-patch.diff
With a debugger attached to AS7 I am seeing a NullPointerException thrown in a JBoss
implementation of a Valve. This happens on every web request that does not have a
principle in the session. The exception type has never appeared in logs because it is
caught and a generic message is displayed.
This affects the performance.
Also the class uses the debugf logging method in the catch block. But does not pass in a
format. A format is expected as the first parameter to the debugf method.
Included with this JIRA is a patch to change the code so that null references are
detected. The second change changes the logging method call to instead use debug. Whether
it should be a error message rather than a debug is a different matter and this JIRA does
not tackle the question.
Regards,
Jeremy
