Description

There is a bug (line 241-242) in FacesRequestProcessor.prcocessActionPerform
that will result in a NullPointerException if the result returned from method
processActionPerform is null and if debug is enabled. The version I refer to is
the nightly build as at struts-faces-20050104.tar

protected ActionForward processActionPerform(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
Action action,
ActionForm form,
ActionMapping mapping)
throws IOException, ServletException {

if (log.isTraceEnabled())

{ log.trace("Performing standard action perform"); }

ActionForward result =
super.processActionPerform(request, response, action,
form, mapping);
if (log.isDebugEnabled())

{ // ### BUG: result can be null ### log.debug("Standard action perform returned " + result.getPath() + " forward path"); }

return (result);

}
