NullPointerException occurs in MainDeployer.listDeployedModules() when there is a module with no associated deployer -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-5983 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5983 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Deployers Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.3.GA, JBossAS-4.2.2.GA, JBossAS-4.2.1.GA Reporter: Ian Springer Assignee: Ales Justin Priority: Critical To reproduce this, drop an empty file named foo.xml somewhere under the deploy dir (I dropped mine under an exploded ear, but I don't think it matters if it's under an ear). The file will fail to deploy, but a DeploymentInfo will still be created for it, e.g.: [org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentInfo@ee0f6e74 { url=file:/C:/Projects/rhq-trunk/dev-container/jbossas/server/default/deploy/rhq.ear/rhq-downloads/rhq-plugins/foo.xml } deployer: null status: null state: INIT_WAITING_DEPLOYER watch: file:/C:/Projects/rhq-trunk/dev-container/jbossas/server/default/deploy/rhq.ear/rhq-downloads/rhq-plugins/foo.xml altDD: null lastDeployed: 1222197704045 lastModified: 1222197704045 mbeans: ] Now go the MainDeployer MBean in the jmx-console and try to invoke the listDeployedModules() operation. You should get the following exception: javax.management.RuntimeMBeanException org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ReflectedDispatcher.handleInvocationExceptions(ReflectedDispatcher.java:176) org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ReflectedDispatcher.invoke(ReflectedDispatcher.java:163) org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.dispatch(Invocation.java:94) org.jboss.mx.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor.invoke(AbstractInterceptor.java:133) org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ModelMBeanOperationInterceptor.invoke(ModelMBeanOperationInterceptor.java:142) org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:659) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.control.Server.invokeOpByName(Server.java:258) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.control.Server.invokeOp(Server.java:223) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.html.HtmlAdaptorServlet.invokeOp(HtmlAdaptorServlet.java:262) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.html.HtmlAdaptorServlet.processRequest(HtmlAdaptorServlet.java:100) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.html.HtmlAdaptorServlet.doPost(HtmlAdaptorServlet.java:82) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:710) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.rhq.helpers.rtfilter.filter.RtFilter.doFilter(RtFilter.java:113) org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) root cause java.lang.NullPointerException org.jboss.deployment.SerializableDeploymentInfo.<init>(SerializableDeploymentInfo.java:102) org.jboss.deployment.MainDeployer.listDeployedModules(MainDeployer.java:261) sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ReflectedDispatcher.invoke(ReflectedDispatcher.java:155) org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.dispatch(Invocation.java:94) org.jboss.mx.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor.invoke(AbstractInterceptor.java:133) org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) org.jboss.mx.interceptor.ModelMBeanOperationInterceptor.invoke(ModelMBeanOperationInterceptor.java:142) org.jboss.mx.server.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:88) org.jboss.mx.server.AbstractMBeanInvoker.invoke(AbstractMBeanInvoker.java:264) org.jboss.mx.server.MBeanServerImpl.invoke(MBeanServerImpl.java:659) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.control.Server.invokeOpByName(Server.java:258) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.control.Server.invokeOp(Server.java:223) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.html.HtmlAdaptorServlet.invokeOp(HtmlAdaptorServlet.java:262) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.html.HtmlAdaptorServlet.processRequest(HtmlAdaptorServlet.java:100) org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.html.HtmlAdaptorServlet.doPost(HtmlAdaptorServlet.java:82) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:710) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) org.rhq.helpers.rtfilter.filter.RtFilter.doFilter(RtFilter.java:113) org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) The NPE occurs on the following line in the constructor of SerializableDeploymentInfo: this.deployer = info.deployer.getServiceName(); because info.deployer is null. I think the fix is changing the line to: this.deployer = (info.deployer != null) ? info.deployer.getServiceName() : null; This is an important fix for JON, because the listDeployedModules() JMX operation is relied on for EAR/WAR discovery. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
