[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBREM-1046) HTTPClientInvoker throws NullPointerException when HttpURLConnection.getInputStream() returns null

[Ron Sigal (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBREM-1046?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12435652#action_12435652 ] 

Ron Sigal commented on JBREM-1046:
----------------------------------

The default behavior has been restored; that is, HTTPClientInvoker will call UnMarshaller.read() even if HttpURLConnection.getInputStream() (or HttpURLConnection.getErrorStream()) is null.

A new variable, HTTPClientInvoker.UNMARSHAL_NULL_STREAM (actual value "unmarshalNullStream"), has been added to control this behavior. If it is set to "true", which is the default value, the default behavior occurs. If it is set to "false", the call to UnMarshaller.read() is skipped.

Unit test: org.jboss.test.remoting.transport.http.NullInputStreamTestCase.

Waiting for hudson results.

> When an HTTP server returns an error code and no content, it is possible for java.net.HttpUrlConnection.getInputStream() to retun null, which causes a NullPointerException in org.jboss.remoting.transport.http.HTTPClientInvoker.useHttpURLConnection().
