[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBMESSAGING-1281) JBossBytesMessage generates NullPointerException on 0-byte messages

JBossBytesMessage generates NullPointerException on 0-byte messages ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBMESSAGING-1281 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-1281 Project: JBoss Messaging Issue Type: Bug Components: Messaging Core Affects Versions: 1.4.0.SP3 Environment: JBoss 4.3.0GA on RHEL Reporter: Patrick Dolan Assigned To: Tim Fox Priority: Minor Fix For: Unscheduled Sometimes we get sent zero-byte BytesMessages through our system via user error or other and when such a message is read by JBoss Messaging and converted into a JBossBytesMessage object, a NullPointerException occurs. The source of the error is in the checkRead method: bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(payloadAsByteArray); In this case the payloadAsByteArray object is not initialized since the message was empty and the BAIS throws a NullPointerException. This is certainly not a high-priority issue but it might be better to either check that condition or throw a more meaningful JMS exception when empty messages are encountered.
