NullPointerException creating new KeyStore without type ------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-5271 URL: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/WFCORE-5271 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Bug Components: Security Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assignee: Lukas Vydra Priority: Major The "type" attribute when adding a new KeyStore has been made optional, this is so that is the KeyStore already exists we can dynamically discover the type. If however the KeyStore does not exist this leads to a NullPointerException as it is never created: {code:java} /subsystem=elytron/key-store=test:add(relative-to=jboss.server.config.dir, path=test1.keystore, credential-reference={clear-text="${ENC:AAA}"}) { "outcome" => "failed", "failure-description" => {"WFLYCTL0080: Failed services" => {"org.wildfly.security.key-store.test" => "WF LYELY00004: Unable to start the service. Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException"}}, "rolled-back" => true } {code}   If it doesn't exist we should likely create it using the default from KeyStore.getDetaultType() {code:java} Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerExceptionCaused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.wildfly.extension.elytron@15.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT//org.wildfly.extension.elytron.KeyStoreService.start(KeyStoreService.java:180) ... 8 more {code}
