[jira] [Updated] (COLLECTIONS-331) CollatingIterator NPE when
Comparator is null
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-331?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Thomas Neidhart updated COLLECTIONS-331:
----------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.2.2)
> CollatingIterator NPE when Comparator is null
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: COLLECTIONS-331
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COLLECTIONS-331
> Project: Commons Collections
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Iterator
> Affects Versions: 3.2
> Reporter: Michael Krkoska
> Assignee: Jochen Wiedmann
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
> Attachments: CollatingIteratorTest.java, COLLECTIONS-331.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 5m
> Remaining Estimate: 5m
>
> Run the attached Test against commons-collections-3.2.1. While the JavaDoc for CollatingIterator claims
> {{@param comp the comparator to use to sort, or null to use natural sort order}}
> the test fails, because the comparator is null.
> Fixing this requires a change in {{org.apache.commons.collections.iterators.CollatingIterator.least()}}:
> {code}
> if (comparator.compare(curObject,leastObject) < 0) { ...
> {code}
> could be replaced with
> {code}
> int c = comparator==null?((Comparable)curObject).compareTo(leastObject):comparator.compare(curObject,leastObject);
> if (c < 0) { ...
> {code}
> The workaround is to provide a comparator, of course.
