[jira] Created: (JAMES-680) Null pointer when starting James on
machine without DNS server
Null pointer when starting James on machine without DNS server
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JAMES-680
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-680
Project: James
Issue Type: Bug
Components: DNSServer
Affects Versions: Trunk
Environment: Linux box without DNS server running
Reporter: Robert Burrell Donkin
Simple coding bug in getHostName results in a NullPointerException and prevents James starting on a linux server without a DNS server running.
(I know that it's a bad idea to run SMTP (and probably some other mail protocols as well) without DNS being correctly configured but I want to run IMAP only. Should be safe enough without mail records in DNS.)

Hi Robert,
can you post the full stack of the NPE before the fix?
I think that the method you fixed should never be called with a null parameter, so we should better avoid the call from the caller when the parameter is null...
