NullPointer exception when accessing non existing directory in CMS ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBPORTAL-2158 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-2158 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Portal CMS Affects Versions: 2.6.6 Final Environment: fedora 9, laptop t61, java version "1.5.0_16", firefox 3.0.1 Reporter: Viliam Rockai Assignee: Sohil Shah Fix For: 2.7.1 Final, 2.6.8 Final I know, that this is not very common case, but anyway, i find it dangerous. 1.Login as admin -> click admin -> click CMS tab 2. click on the "default folder: the address in address bar should be: http://localhost:8080/portal/auth/portal/admin/CMS/CMSAdminPortletWindow?... now, mess this address manually and retype it to (some non existing folder) http://localhost:8080/portal/auth/portal/admin/CMS/CMSAdminPortletWindow?... and press enter You should see : ERROR Cause: java.lang.NullPointerException StackTrace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.portal.core.cms.ui.admin.CMSAdminPortlet.internalDoView(CMSAdminPortlet.java:244) at org.jboss.portal.core.cms.ui.admin.CMSAdminPortlet.doView(CMSAdminPortlet.java:184) at org.jboss.portlet.JBossPortlet.doDispatch(JBossPortlet.java:257) at org.jboss.portlet.JBossPortlet.render(JBossPortlet.java:244) at org.jboss.portlet.JBossPortlet.render(JBossPortlet.java:390) I don't consider this being so dangerous, but now, try to click on the CMS tab. You see the error again, form now, it is impossible to get into the CMS console again until you logout/login again. The case when this can be seen can be the situation, when the CMS console is opened in two firefox tabs, and you rename/delete the file/directory on one tab, and then try to continue working on the other tab clicking on the actually non-existing link...
