[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-3091) java.lang.NullPointerException when calling hashCode after instantiating PDFParserConfig

["Tilman Hausherr (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-3091?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17082835#comment-17082835 ] 

Tilman Hausherr commented on TIKA-3091:
---------------------------------------

Ouch.
Two ways to solve this:
- check for null in equals() and hashcode()
or
- initialize with default values. Maybe add static public constants in PDFBox and use these? Current code there:

{code:java}
    private float spacingTolerance = .5f;
    private float averageCharTolerance = .3f;
{code}

> _averageCharTolerance_ and _spacingTolerance_ are null after instantiating PDFParserConfig
> that can cause NullPointerException when calling hashCode. 
> {code:java}
> PDFParserConfig pdfParserConfig = new PDFParserConfig();
> pdfParserConfig.hashCode();
> {code}
