NullPointerException if Thread.getContextClassLoader() returns null

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      We just need to detect the null class loader and return null.

      This was originally discovered in a call stack like: -

      Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.get(ConcurrentHashMap.java:936)
	at org.wildfly.security.auth.server.SecurityDomain.getCurrent(SecurityDomain.java:171)
	at org.jboss.as.ee.component.ProxyInvocationHandler.invoke(ProxyInvocationHandler.java:74)
	at org.jboss.weld.tests.event.async.context.security.Printer$$$view2.print(Unknown Source)
	at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
	at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62)
	at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43)
	at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498)

      So in general calls where the context class loader is not set are at risk of this NPE, the fix is to simply check for null.

      Also ElytronXmlParser assumes it is always available.

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.

          • Blocker - To be worked above all other priorities. This term is chosen when the severity of the issue is very high, has no workaround, or the effort for the change is comparatively low. Issues that may be very publicly visible and could generate significant media attention may also drive a higher priority.
