[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3276) NPE thrown in SecurityContextAssociationValve.

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
