I'm against the patch proposed since that addresses the symptom rather than the
cause. I'm not against added a null check that throws an IAE at the point where
the parent class loader is set to null, if you (as the user) would find that
useful. However, if you don't think it would be useful, there isn't much point
me adding it :)

All of this assumes that something in your code is setting the parent class
loader to null. If the root cause is something else then all bets are off and
we'll have to look at this aginan.

Sorry didn't have time to do more testing. 
I will try to find change something to make that work again with version
7.0.26.
BTW what prevent you to do a simple null check in the code ?

I'm not exactly sure what is going on here as I can't repeat this with a simple
test case. However, it does appear that r1242101 is the root cause.

I can only repeat this is I set Catalina's parent class loader to null. I guess
that is what the plug-in code is doing somewhere and while in the past it has
got away with it, as a result of r1242101 it is now failing.

I'm having a hard time coming up with a valid reason for setting the parent
class loader to null. I am therefore leaning towards INVALID for this, although
I'm not adverse to adding a null check to setParentClassLoader() and throwing
an IAE if null is passed in to make this easier to debug.

(In reply to comment #8)
(In reply to comment #9)

AbstractRunMojo#startContainer() creates a "new Catalina()". I do not see it
ever calling setParentClassLoader() and Catalina#parentClassLoader defaults to
its own classloader.

Is Catalina.class.getClassLoader() the one that does not have system CL in its
parents chain?


> What I don't understand is why in the parent classLoader chain having
> SystemClassLoader is mandatory!


Anyway as far as WebappClassLoader class goes

1) It has to follow its documentation, [1] in 7.0 and in more details in 5.5,
where shared class loader was actually used. There is lookup sequence,

"Therefore, from the perspective of a web application, class or resource
loading looks in the following repositories, in this order: (...)" - see [1]

[1] http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html


2) WebappClassLoader has its own explicit call to getSystemClassLoader() and
treats the system class loader specially and separately from its parent, to
follow its specific delegating pattern of calling
 A system CL
 B webapp CL
 C parent CL.

Therefore for the WebappClassLoader class it does not matter where its "parent
CL" is rooted. It does not impact its behaviour.

So using shared CL that does not have system CL as a parent does not seriously
impact Tomcat.

I do not mind a (cl != null) check to be added in the loop in r1242101.


It seems that the code in r1242101 is the first one that actually looks into
the shared classloader and is outside of a webapp. Such work is usually scoped
to the web application. The shared CL is actually used in
WebappLoader#createClassLoader().

Interesting... A small issue though. It tries to stop a component that has not
been started?

Without any further input, this is going to get resolved as INVALID prior to

Given that the root cause is a class loader that does not have the 'normal'
hierarchy we see in the normal (non-embedded) use case (rather than something
setting the Catalina's parent class loader to null) then adding the null check
is a reasonable solution. I've looked for other places in the codebase where we
traverse the class loader hierarchy and don't see a need for further changes.

The fix has been applied to trunk and 7.0.x and will be included in 7.0.27
onwards.

What I don't understand is why in the parent classLoader chain having
SystemClassLoader is mandatory!
That's what the current code assume. Frankly I don't understand why you
consider that mandatory. In some env especially osgi it's not!. 
The patch just prevent a NPE in case of SystemClassLoader is not in the parent
classLoader chain.
Why that could not be a valid use case ?

OK.

> That's what the current code assume.

I know.

> Frankly I don't understand why you consider that mandatory.

I don't. The original developers of Tomcat did. While I can make some educated
guesses why this was done based on the Servlet and J2EE specifications I can't
be sure. However, since it is an assumptions that appears in multiple places
across the code base I am very reluctant to change it without fully
understanding the impacts that might have.

> In some env especially osgi it's not!.

OK.

No, that patch addresses that particular symptom in one place in the code. As I
stated previously, it is the root cause I am interested in fixing rather than
one particular symptom.

> Why that could not be a valid use case ?

As I stated previously, I'm having a hard time coming up with a valid reason
for setting the parent class loader to null.

Having looked more widely at this issue, it is clear that the implementation of
Catalina#getParentClassLoader() is not consistent with other implementations.
I'll get that fixed shortly. Depending on what you are doing (which you have
yet to be clear about) that may resolve the problem you are seeing.

It would be helpful if you could identify which of the following cases is
triggering this problem:
a) calling Catalina.setParentClassLoader() and passing null
b) calling Catalina.setParentClassLoader() and passing a class loader that does
not have the system class loader as an ancestor
c) Something else.

If a) or b) any further details of why this is being done would be helpful.
If c) you'll need to provide details.

happen for b).
The c) case is not using setParentClassLoader(). I discovered my trouble using
this.
BTW I saw your commit which should fix (not tested yet)

1. Where is "Caused by" and its stacktrace?

Line 236 wraps other exception and rethrows it, but you are not saying what it
is and where it comes from.

2. This LifecycleBase.stop() is called from LifecycleBase.start() on line 141
which is unusual and happens only if the component is already in the state of
FAILED.

Thus there must be some preceding messages in the logs.

DO NOT REPLY [Bug 52833] NPE with 7.0.26

At the moment this looks like a configuration error and I am leaning towards
resolving this as INVALID.
