NPE during cleanup after Servlet API3 AsyncContect

XMLWordPrintable

    • Hide

      The following example servlet demonstrates the problem. When accessing this servlet, there will be a NPE on the console/cataling log:
      java.lang.NullPointerException

      An example servlet:

      package com.kobil.ssms.asm.presentation.b2b;

      import java.io.IOException;

      import javax.servlet.AsyncContext;
      import javax.servlet.ServletException;

      import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
      import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
      import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

      @WebServlet(asyncSupported = true, urlPatterns = "/weldasync")
      public class WeldAsyncServlet extends HttpServlet {

      @Override
      protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException

      { doPost(request, response); }

      @Override
      protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException,
      IOException {
      final AsyncContext async = request.startAsync(request, response);
      Runnable asyncRunnable = new Runnable() {

      @Override
      public void run()

      { async.complete(); }

      };
      async.start(asyncRunnable);
      }

      }

      When using Weld with Servlet API3.0 AsyncContext, there will be a NullPointerException, when Weld tries to cleanup the request.
      There seems to be a problem when asyncContext.complete() is called in a thread that was not the original thread that received the request

      example for the exception:
