Summary: NullpointerException if <TOMCAT_HOME>/webapps/ROOT is deleted or removed Product: Tomcat 7 Version: 7.0.0 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org ReportedBy: lff0...@gmail.com I reproduce this issue by Google Chrome, not IE. I created a test servlet (named testServlet) and put it under TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/test/testServlet, and this servlet can be executed as expected. But the following exception is got: An exception or error occurred in the container during the request processing java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.connector.Request.getServletContext(Request.java:1541) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.postParseRequest(CoyoteAdapter.java:636) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:398) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:249) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:267) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11Protocol.java:245) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$SocketProcessor.run(JIoEndpoint.java:260) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:885) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619) >From wiredshark I saw 2 requests. The first request is to my servlet under /test/testServlet which is OK; The second is request to /favicon.ico But I have REMOVED TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/ROOT so this favicon.ico can not be got. But a NPE is not good, I think. After I create a folder named ROOT under webapps and put a favicon.ico under it, this NPE disappears. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
