[jira] Commented: (EMAIL-71) Email.getHostName() throws NullPointerException

["Carsten Ziegeler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Carsten Ziegeler commented on EMAIL-71:
---------------------------------------

I ran into the same problem today :) I think it should return null as it's just a getter method.
I wanted to use this method to check, if someone else has already set the host name and if not apply a default.

> If setHostName() has not been called, getHostName() tries to return this.session.getProperty(MAIL_HOST). If mail session has not been created yet, this will throw a NullPointerException. getHostName() should check that this.session is not null before trying to access it.
> The same applies to getSmtpPort() and getSslSmtpPort().
