MultipartFilter maxRequestSize exceeded throws NullPointerException from ExceptionFilter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1995 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1995 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Patch Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR1, 2.0.0.BETA1 Environment: WinXP, jboss-4.2.1.GA, jboss-seam-2.0.0.CR1, Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM 1.5.0_12-b04,Sun Microsystems Inc. Reporter: Nathan Wray Attachments: ExceptionFilter.java, ExceptionFilter.java.patch-jbseam1995 using the <s:fileUpload /> component, when maxRequestSize is exceed and the user is not in a conversation scope, the server throws the user a null pointer exception rather than the message configured in pages.xml: 2007-09-28 10:24:40,703 ERROR [org.jboss.seam.web.ExceptionFilter] handling uncaught exception org.jboss.seam.web.FileUploadException: Multipart request is larger than allowed size at org.jboss.seam.web.MultipartRequest.<init>(MultipartRequest.java:280) at org.jboss.seam.web.MultipartFilter.doFilter(MultipartFilter.java:80) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter$FilterChainImpl.doFilter(SeamFilter.java:69) [...] 2007-09-28 10:24:40,703 ERROR [org.jboss.seam.web.ExceptionFilter] exception root cause 2007-09-28 10:24:40,718 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/set].[Faces Servlet]] Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.seam.web.ExceptionFilter.endWebRequestAfterException(ExceptionFilter.java:93) at org.jboss.seam.web.ExceptionFilter.doFilter(ExceptionFilter.java:70) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamFilter$FilterChainImpl.doFilter(SeamFilter.java:69) at org.jboss.seam.web.RedirectFilter.doFilter(RedirectFilter.java:44) the code in ExceptionFilter at line 93 assumes a Manager will be found in the request causing a null pointer exception. I've patched this locally (against 2.0CR1) with the following: 93,94c93 < if (oldManager != null) < conversationId = oldManager.getCurrentConversationId(); --- > conversationId = oldManager.getCurrentConversationId(); 102,110c101,102 < if (conversationId != null) < { < ConversationPropagation.instance().setConversationId(conversationId); < Manager.instance().restoreConversation(); < } < else < { < Manager.instance().initializeTemporaryConversation(); < } --- > ConversationPropagation.instance().setConversationId(conversationId); > Manager.instance().restoreConversation();
