OutputServices.java:187, REC_CATCH_EXCEPTION
- REC: Exception is caught when Exception is not thrown in org.apache.ofbiz.content.output.OutputServices.sendPrintFromScreen(DispatchContext, Map)
This method uses a try-catch block that catches Exception objects, but Exception is not thrown within the try block, and RuntimeException is not explicitly caught. It is a common bug pattern to say try
{ ... } catch (Exception e) { something } as a shorthand for catching a number of types of exception each of whose catch blocks is identical, but this construct also accidentally catches RuntimeException as well, masking potential bugs.A better approach is to either explicitly catch the specific exceptions that are thrown, or to explicitly catch RuntimeException exception, rethrow it, and then catch all non-Runtime Exceptions, as shown below:
try { ... } catch (RuntimeException e) { throw e; } catch (Exception e) { ... deal with all non-runtime exceptions ... }
OutputServices.java:251, OBL_UNSATISFIED_OBLIGATION_EXCEPTION_EDGE
- OBL: org.apache.ofbiz.content.output.OutputServices.createFileFromScreen(DispatchContext, Map) may fail to clean up java.io.OutputStream on checked exception
This method may fail to clean up (close, dispose of) a stream, database object, or other resource requiring an explicit cleanup operation.
In general, if a method opens a stream or other resource, the method should use a try/finally block to ensure that the stream or resource is cleaned up before the method returns.
This bug pattern is essentially the same as the OS_OPEN_STREAM and ODR_OPEN_DATABASE_RESOURCE bug patterns, but is based on a different (and hopefully better) static analysis technique. We are interested is getting feedback about the usefulness of this bug pattern. To send feedback, either:
send email to findbugs@cs.umd.edu
file a bug report: http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/reportingBugs.html
In particular, the false-positive suppression heuristics for this bug pattern have not been extensively tuned, so reports about false positives are helpful to us.
See Weimer and Necula, Finding and Preventing Run-Time Error Handling Mistakes, for a description of the analysis technique.
OutputServices.java:251, OS_OPEN_STREAM_EXCEPTION_PATH
- OS: org.apache.ofbiz.content.output.OutputServices.createFileFromScreen(DispatchContext, Map) may fail to close stream on exception
The method creates an IO stream object, does not assign it to any fields, pass it to other methods, or return it, and does not appear to close it on all possible exception paths out of the method. This may result in a file descriptor leak. It is generally a good idea to use a finally block to ensure that streams are closed.
OutputServices.java:255, REC_CATCH_EXCEPTION
- REC: Exception is caught when Exception is not thrown in org.apache.ofbiz.content.output.OutputServices.createFileFromScreen(DispatchContext, Map)
This method uses a try-catch block that catches Exception objects, but Exception is not thrown within the try block, and RuntimeException is not explicitly caught. It is a common bug pattern to say try { ... }
catch (Exception e)
{ something }as a shorthand for catching a number of types of exception each of whose catch blocks is identical, but this construct also accidentally catches RuntimeException as well, masking potential bugs.
A better approach is to either explicitly catch the specific exceptions that are thrown, or to explicitly catch RuntimeException exception, rethrow it, and then catch all non-Runtime Exceptions, as shown below:
try
{ ... }catch (RuntimeException e)
{ throw e; }catch (Exception e)
{ ... deal with all non-runtime exceptions ... }
