[jira] [Commented] (CONNECTORS-1524) Documentum Connector fails with NullPointerException under OpenJDK 10

["Karl Wright (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1524?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16576478#comment-16576478 ] 

Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-1524:
-----------------------------------------

The key part of the exception is here:

{code}
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.documentum.fc.client.impl.docbase.DocbaseDateFormat.getSeparator(DocbaseDateFormat.java:119)
{code}

This is inside Documentum DFC.  As far as I can tell, Documentum does not certify DFC on OpenJDK, and even if it did, this is an internal error for which a DFC bug report should be opened.

If this occurs identically under Oracle JVMs, I can put some effort into figuring out what the arguments are to the getSession() call that is failing so you can submit a ticket.  But it is a waste of time if this is an unsupported JDK.

> I am running ManifoldCF 2.10 patched for issues 1512 and 1517.
> I recently upgraded Java to 10.0.2 (for another server on the same machine) and find that when I try to create jobs using the Documentum connector, clicking on (e.g.) the Paths tab will give this error dialog:
> {code:java}
> HTTP ERROR 500
