PM02017: JSR 286 RENDERING PORTLET CAUSES NULLPOINTEREXCEPTION

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • JSR 286 rendering portlet causes NullPointerException

Stacktrace as below.

java.lang.NullPointerException
 at
com.ibm.workplace.wcm.sample.contextprocessor.MLContextProcessor
.process(MLContextProcessor.java:136)
 at
com.ibm.workplace.wcm.app.ui.portlet.extensions.ContextProcessor
Extension.process(ContextProcessorExtension.java:126)

Local fix

  • 



Problem summary


    

  • ContextProcessor implementations accessing the HTTP session
 throw NullPointExceptions when being used
with the new JSR 286 Rendering Portlet.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • This fix introduces a new portlet preference for the JSR 286
 Rendering Portlet that can be enabled to make the rendering
 portlet
generate a HTTP session prior to calling a configured
 ContextProcessor. The preference is named
 WCM_CREATE_SESSION_FOR_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR
and it is disabled (i.e. set to "false") by default.

    



Temporary fix
