DO NOT REPLY [Bug 51494] New: NPE in StandardContextValve.invoke()
when a webapp is redeployed while a request is still being processed
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51494
Bug #: 51494
Summary: NPE in StandardContextValve.invoke() when a webapp is
redeployed while a request is still being processed
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: 7.0.16
Platform: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: dev@tomcat.apache.org
ReportedBy: preissa@web.de
Classification: Unclassified
Hi,
The following applies to Tomcat 7.0.18, but I couldn't select that version.
When a request to a Servlet takes a long time to process, and the webapp is
redeployed in that time (e.g. by replacing the .war file), the following NPE is
thrown in org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke():
10.07.2011 03:27:05 org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter service
SCHWERWIEGEND: An exception or error occurred in the container during the
request processing

This is because "context" attribute in StandardContextValve is null at that
time.
I could reproduce this behaviour on Windows 7 (32 bit) with Sun/Oracle Java
1.6.0_26, using the Windows x86 binaries of Tomcat 7.0.18 (from
http://people.apache.org/~markt/dev/tomcat-7/v7.0.18/) with the included Tomcat
Native 1.1.20.
To reproduce:
0) Download and install Tomcat 7.0.18 (I used the windows x86 zip binaries).
1) Create a simple webapp with a servlet, that takes a long time to process
requests, e.g. by calling Thread.sleep(). For example, I used:
@WebServlet("/LongRequest")
public class LongRequest extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("Start...");
out.flush();
try {
Thread.sleep(20000);
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
out.println(ex.toString());
}
out.println("Finished.");
out.close();
}
}
2) Package the webapp as ".war" file, and make two versions of that file.
3) Deploy the first version to Tomcat by copying the .war file into the
"webapps" directory.
4) Open a browser and make a GET request to the above servlet.
5) Now immediately replace the .war file in the webapp directory with the
second version, so that Tomcat will undeploy the old version and deploy the new
one.
5) After the request finishes, the NPE is thrown.
I originally observed a NPE in StandardWrapperValve.invoke() with Tomcat 7.0.16
that I reported on the users list [1], which occured when the webapp was
redeployed while a servlet was still processing a request. However, I couldn't
reproduce the NPE in StandardWrapperValve.invoke(), but in
StandardContextValve.invoke().
