DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45195] New: Possible regression issue with HttpSession. getAtttribute()

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45195

           Summary: Possible regression issue with
                    HttpSession.getAtttribute()
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.26
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jonathan.leffingwell.ctr@navy.mil


We just upgraded from Tomcat 5.0.x to 5.5.26.  In Tomcat 5.0.x, the following
code returned NULL to obj:

HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
Object obj = session.getAttribute(null);

In Tomcat 5.5.26, that same code raises this exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
java.util.Hashtable.get(Unknown Source)
org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSession.getAttribute(StandardSession.java:1024)
org.apache.catalina.session.StandardSessionFacade.getAttribute(StandardSessionFacade.java:110)
NewServlet.processRequest(NewServlet.java:29)
NewServlet.doGet(NewServlet.java:52)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803)

I know how to code around it, but doesn't this qualify as a bug, at least for
regression purposes?

FYI: I'm using JDK 5.

The spec is non-specific in this case.

You could argue this either way but the fix should be trivial. I'll take a
look.
