[jira] [Commented] (APA-48) WebResourceUtils bombs with NPX if application is packaged as a non-expanded WAR file under Tomcat

["Woonsan Ko (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Woonsan Ko commented on APA-48:
-------------------------------

Thanks for reporting this!
Actually I already considered the case of non-expanded war file, but I think I missed one thing. WebResourceUtils#getResourceAsFile() can return null in that case, so, #getResourcesAsFiles() should have considered that by returning null, too.
It's already checking null and read stream in that case.
So, I think it should be good enough by checking null in #getResourceAsFile() method.

> While testing an application configuration when packaged as a non-expanded WAR file the DefaultHttpReverseProxyServlet dies with a NullPointerException when calling WebResourceUtils.getResourcesAsFiles(String, ClassLoader, Object).
> The reason for this is that when packaged in a WAR file and not expanded, Tomcat provides a WARDirContext which returns null when requesting "getRealPath"
> Would it be possible to change this around such that the code is not dealing with files specifically and dealing with them as references & streams?
> This configuration issue is a blocker for my current product.
> If possible could the ServletContext.getResource/getResourceAsStream be used to determine the resource location and load it that way when "/WEB-INF/" is the start of the path?
