- A useful/meaningful message should have been displayed during the deployment failure to the end user rather than unhandled NullPointerException Created attachment 923611 [details]
ContextParamNullDemo.war
Since this is a JBoss metadata issue instead of a JSF issue, I'm updating the component to "Web". 8x: https://github.com/jboss/metadata/pull/68 7.x https://github.com/jboss/metadata/pull/69 7.1.x ->(eap 6.x) 'javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError Message: param-name element missing' in context-param in EAP 6.4.0.DR4 is much better. |
Description of problem: ---------------------- - While deploying a WAR, If the web.xml file is used which has context <param-value> defined, However it has missing <param-name> then it causes NullPointerException as following: {code} 00:28:18,063 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-8) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "ContextParamNullDemo.war" (runtime-name: "ContextParamNullDemo.war") 00:28:18,239 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-4) MSC000001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."ContextParamNullDemo.war".PARSE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."ContextParamNullDemo.war".PARSE: JBAS018733: Failed to process phase PARSE of deployment "ContextParamNullDemo.war" at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:127) [jboss-as-server-7.3.2.Final-redhat-2.jar:7.3.2.Final-redhat-2] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1811) [jboss-msc-1.0.4.GA-redhat-1.jar:1.0.4.GA-redhat-1] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1746) [jboss-msc-1.0.4.GA-redhat-1.jar:1.0.4.GA-redhat-1] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51] Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.as.jsf.deployment.JSFVersionProcessor.deploy(JSFVersionProcessor.java:91) at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:120) [jboss-as-server-7.3.2.Final-redhat-2.jar:7.3.2.Final-redhat-2] ... 5 more 00:28:18,249 ERROR [org.jboss.as.server] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) JBAS015870: Deploy of deployment "ContextParamNullDemo.war" was rolled back with the following failure message: {"JBAS014671: Failed services" => {"jboss.deployment.unit.\"ContextParamNullDemo.war\".PARSE" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit.\"ContextParamNullDemo.war\".PARSE: JBAS018733: Failed to process phase PARSE of deployment \"ContextParamNullDemo.war\" Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException"}} {code} Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: - Yes Steps to Reproduce: ------------------ - Deploy a WAR on WildFly with the following entry inside the web.xml file: {code} <context-param> <!--param-name>AnyName</param-name--> <param-value>AnyValue</param-value> </context-param> {code} Actual results: ---------------- - A NullPointerException is thrown, Without a useful user friendly information of what has become null or what is the reason of failure in user friendly manner.
