[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBPORTAL-2456) NullPointerException copiing the dashboard

NullPointerException copiing the dashboard ------------------------------------------ Key: JBPORTAL-2456 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-2456 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Portal Core Affects Versions: 2.7.2 Final Environment: JBoss Portal 2.7.2 with AS 4.2.3 and AS 5.0 Reporter: Luca Stancapiano Assignee: Luca Stancapiano Fix For: 2.8 Final here the scenario: we have: User Role ---------------------- User1 User1 User2 User2 Page Role ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- template unchecked template/nuovapagina1 User1 template/nuovapagina1/altrapagina1 User1 template/nuovapagina1/altrapagina2 User1 template/nuovapagina2 User2 template/nuovapagina2/naltrapagina1 User2 template/nuovapagina2/naltrapagina2 User2 If I log as User1 in the portal, I obtain a NullPointerException when I try to copy the page template/nuovapagina2 inside dashboard/User1. The code is in: org.jboss.portal.core.impl.model.PageCustomizerInterceptor: 334 the 'from' variable is equals to 'template/nuovapagina1' , the 'to' variable became null because the user hasn't permissions on it. So in the code below we get a NullPointerException and finally the user imports only a piece of template, so the dashboard became iconsistent: copy(portalObject, to.getChild(portalObject.getName())); To resolve the problem it is enough the below: copy(portalObject, to == null ? null : to.getChild(portalObject.getName()));
