http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27077 DataSourceRealm throws NullPointerException when auth is tried and user has null password Summary: DataSourceRealm throws NullPointerException when auth is tried and user has null password Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.0.18 Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a web application that is password protected against a postgres database, defined like so: <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm" debug="0" dataSourceName="jdbc/GlobalPatricia" userTable="person" userNameCol="uid" userCredCol="user_password" userRoleTable="company_person" roleNameCol="serial"/> For normal users logging in, this works fine. If however, a user in the postgres database has their password field set to "null", and an attempt is made to log in as this user using any password, the exception below is thrown by tomcat. Tomcat then returns a 200 OK to the browser, along with a blank page. 2004/02/19 01:42:10 org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteAdapter service SEVERE: An exception or error occurred in the container during the request processing java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm.authenticate(DataSourceRealm.java:369) at org.apache.catalina.realm.DataSourceRealm.authenticate(DataSourceRealm.java:306) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator.authenticate(BasicAuthenticator.java:182) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:551) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:149) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:564) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:195) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:151) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:164) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:149) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:564) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:156) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:151) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:564) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:972) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:206) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:828) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11Protocol.java:700) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:584) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:683) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
