[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (SEAMSECURITY-39) Simple example produces NullPointerException in server logs when entering wrong user/password

Simple example produces NullPointerException in server logs when entering wrong user/password --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMSECURITY-39 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMSECURITY-39 Project: Seam Security Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Beta2 Environment: JBoss AS 6 Reporter: Marek Schmidt Priority: Minor The "simple" example in examples/simple will produce NPE, because the SimpleAuthenticator does not call setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.FAILURE) when incorrect credentials are provided by the user. Since the example is also used in the documentation, it probably teaches a bad practice of writing custom authenticators. The example and the docs should probably be updated to contain a call to setStatus(AuthenticationStatus.FAILURE) The exception from server logs: 16:52:26,901 ERROR [org.jboss.seam.security.IdentityImpl] Login failed: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.seam.security.IdentityImpl.authenticate(IdentityImpl.java:328) [:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT] at org.jboss.seam.security.IdentityImpl.login(IdentityImpl.java:229) [:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT] at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) [:1.6.0_18] at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) [:1.6.0_18] at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) [:1.6.0_18] at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:616) [:1.6.0_18] at org.apache.el.parser.AstValue.invoke(AstValue.java:196) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.el.MethodExpressionImpl.invoke(MethodExpressionImpl.java:276) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.util.el.ForwardingMethodExpression.invoke(ForwardingMethodExpression.java:43) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.el.WeldMethodExpression.invoke(WeldMethodExpression.java:56) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.util.el.ForwardingMethodExpression.invoke(ForwardingMethodExpression.java:43) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.el.WeldMethodExpression.invoke(WeldMethodExpression.java:56) [:6.0.0.Final] at com.sun.faces.facelets.el.TagMethodExpression.invoke(TagMethodExpression.java:102) [:2.0.3-] at javax.faces.component.MethodBindingMethodExpressionAdapter.invoke(MethodBindingMethodExpressionAdapter.java:84) [:2.0.3-] at com.sun.faces.application.ActionListenerImpl.processAction(ActionListenerImpl.java:98) [:2.0.3-] at javax.faces.component.UICommand.broadcast(UICommand.java:311) [:2.0.3-] at javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot.broadcastEvents(UIViewRoot.java:781) [:2.0.3-] at javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot.processApplication(UIViewRoot.java:1246) [:2.0.3-] at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.InvokeApplicationPhase.execute(InvokeApplicationPhase.java:77) [:2.0.3-] at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.Phase.doPhase(Phase.java:97) [:2.0.3-] at com.sun.faces.lifecycle.LifecycleImpl.execute(LifecycleImpl.java:114) [:2.0.3-] at javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:308) [:2.0.3-] at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:324) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:242) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.weld.servlet.ConversationPropagationFilter.doFilter(ConversationPropagationFilter.java:67) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:274) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:242) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:275) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:191) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityAssociationValve.invoke(SecurityAssociationValve.java:181) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaContext$RequestListenerValve.event(CatalinaContext.java:285) [:1.1.0.Final] at org.jboss.modcluster.catalina.CatalinaContext$RequestListenerValve.invoke(CatalinaContext.java:261) [:1.1.0.Final] at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JaccContextValve.invoke(JaccContextValve.java:88) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.invoke(SecurityContextEstablishmentValve.java:100) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:127) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.jca.CachedConnectionValve.invoke(CachedConnectionValve.java:158) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.request.ActiveRequestResponseCacheValve.invoke(ActiveRequestResponseCacheValve.java:53) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:362) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:877) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:654) [:6.0.0.Final] at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:951) [:6.0.0.Final] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:636) [:1.6.0_18] Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.seam.security.IdentityImpl.authenticate(IdentityImpl.java:311) [:3.0.0-SNAPSHOT] ... 43 more -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
