http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32579 Summary: Nullpointer exception after using parseFTPEntry in FTPFileEntryParser Product: Ant Version: 1.6.2 Platform: HP OS/Version: HP-UX Status: NEW Keywords: ErrorMessage Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Core tasks AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Performing an FTP get action on HP-UX can result in a null pointer exception. This occurs when getFiles() calls this.parser.parseFTPEntry(entry) in FTPListParseEngine and returns an FTPFile[] array that includes null values. This can occur when the files on HP-UX have for example the following characteristics: -rw------- 1 svcpeova TEAM-OVA-CC4300800 Dec 7 09:35 sdserver-4.5-sp.depot As you can see there is no space between the group name and file size, and that is exactly where the parseFTPEntry method fails. In this method apparently the file characteristics is retrieved and checked, but for some reason it appears to rely on spaces to differentiate between the various characteristics. Because there is no space between the group name and the file size, the method returns a null which ultimately causes a null pointer exception when trying to get this file via FTP. After changing the group of the file the problem no longer occurs: -rw------- 1 svcpeova users 4300800 Dec 7 09:35 sdserver-4.5-sp.depot -- 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]
