            Bug ID: 60041
           Summary: NPE in WebappClassLoaderBase
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Mac OS X 10.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: gehill...@sina.com

After deploy war in tomcat, delete the jar in WEB-INF/lib/, then it may throws
NullPointerException when load class


The reason as follow:

WebappClassLoaderBase (between line 3093 and 3110 in method openJARs())

    protected boolean openJARs() {
        if (started && (jarFiles.length > 0)) {
            lastJarAccessed = System.currentTimeMillis();
            if (jarFiles[0] == null) {
                for (int i = 0; i < jarFiles.length; i++) {
                    try {
                        jarFiles[i] = new JarFile(jarRealFiles[i]);
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
                            log.debug("Failed to open JAR", e);
                        }
                        return false;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }


If IOException is thrown in line 3099, the jarFiles will be
[file1,file2,NULL,NULL,...]. after that, it will return true when invoke
openJARs(), beacuse jarFiles[0] != null. 


WebappClassLoaderBase (between line 3271 and 3285 in method openJARs())

            if (openJARs()) {
                for (int i = 0; i < jarFiles.length; i++) {

                    jarEntry = jarFiles[i].getJarEntry(jarEntryPath);

                    if (jarEntry != null) {
                        try {
                            entry.manifest = jarFiles[i].getManifest();
                        } catch (IOException ioe) {
                            // Ignore
                        }
                        break;
                    }
                 }
             }



beacuse jarFiles=[file1,file2,NULL,NULL,...], so jarFiles[i] may be null, This
will cause NullPointerException in line 3274. In this case, it is difficult to
judge what went wrong.

I attached a patch that fixes it
