[jira] Commented: (MYFACES-2607) Ugly NPE in CompositeFunctionMapper.resolveFunction() if second FunctionMapper is null

["Martin Marinschek (JIRA)" <de...@myfaces.apache.org>]

Martin Marinschek commented on MYFACES-2607:
--------------------------------------------

Hi Jakob,

in general, it is not really a good idea to try to get rid of null pointer exceptions, if (as you say in the second part of the comment) a null value is not expected at this location. The general rule is: the earlier an exception happens, the better for finding out why it occurs!

best regards,

Martin

> The class CompositeFunctionMapper gets two FunctionMappers in the constructor which it uses to resolve EL functions in its method resolveFunction(). Currently the first FunctionMapper is always NamespaceHandler and the second one is the one from the ELContext, which is null at all times. I think this is also a problem, but at first I want to get rid of this ugly NPE.
