subscribe method on subscription manager - NullPointerException --------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-1965 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1965 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: ws-eventing Affects Versions: jbossws-2.0.1.SP2 Environment: JBoss 4.2.2 / JDK 1.5_14 / Windows XP MCE / JBossWS 2.0.1-SP2 Reporter: Antonio Souza Assigned To: Heiko Braun Fix For: jbossws-native-2.0.4 Original Estimate: 1 hour Remaining Estimate: 1 hour The subscribe method raises NullPointerException when trying to subscribe to an event source with the state of 'CREATED'. This happens because there's no SubscriptionManager endpoint declared. The event source never goes 'STARTED'. In the subscribe method when trying to get where managerAddress, it returns null raising NullPointerException. It should have an assertion on the EventSource object, verifying whether or not it is 'STARTED' as below: org.jboss.ws.extensions.eventing.mgmt.SubscriptionManager 303: if (null == eventSource) 304: throw new SubscriptionError(EventingConstants.CODE_UNABLE_TO_PROCESS, "EventSource '" + eventSourceNS + "' not registered"); Assertion snippet after 304: if (eventSource.getState() != STARTED) throw new SubscriptionError(EventingConstants.CODE_UNABLE_TO_PROCESS, "EventSource '" + eventSourceNS + "' not started"); or something like that. The exception happens here: 341: attrURI.setValue(eventSource.getManagerAddress().toString()); eventSource.getManagerAddress returns null raising NullPointerException.
