Description

I found a bug in org.apache.pluto.core.impl.ResourceBundleFactory (pluto-container subproject). When deploying new portlet app to pluto (1.1-ALPHA), if any of short-title or keywords is not defined in portlet.xml, a NullPointerException will be thrown out by GenericPortlet.getTitle() method. The reason is:

In the constructor:

defaultBundle = new ListResourceBundle() {
Object[][] contents = new String[][]

{title, shrtt, keys}

;
public Object[][] getContents()

{ return contents; }

};

java.util.ListResourceBundle requires that, for the key/value pairs returned by getContents() method, both key and value should not be null. But the inner ListResourceBundle subclass does not check for null values.

Regards.
