http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43668 Summary: ApplicationDispatcher.doForward for non-HTTP request is always NULL Product: Tomcat 6 Version: 6.0.14 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This applies to both 6.x and 5.5x version !! Tomcat6.x http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/tc6.0.x/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/core/ApplicationDispatcher.java Tomcat5.5.x http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/container/tc5.5.x/catalina/src/share/org/apache/catalina/core/ApplicationDispatcher.java There is a severe always-NULL case in both T6.x and T5.5x sources if request is non-HTTP forward. processRequest(req, res, state) method should use the original "request" and "response" objects, but it gives "hrequest" and "hresponse" objects. private void doForward(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) { ...continue... // Identify the HTTP-specific request and response objects (if any) HttpServletRequest hrequest = null; if (request instanceof HttpServletRequest) hrequest = (HttpServletRequest) request; HttpServletResponse hresponse = null; if (response instanceof HttpServletResponse) hresponse = (HttpServletResponse) response; // Handle a non-HTTP forward by passing the existing request/response if ((hrequest == null) || (hresponse == null)) { processRequest(hrequest,hresponse,state); } ...continue... } Calling program gets a NPE exception when forwarding a request. java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.processRequest(ApplicationDispatcher.java:459) -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
