Description

Below is the example portlet.xml snippet.
<preference>
<name>categories</name>
</preference>

getValues() method of PeferencesImpl throws a NullPointerException (Line# 53).

setCastorValues() is never called, in the absence of value elements in portlet.xml. Hence "values" are never initialised to an empty ArrayList.
