Hi all; I'm part of the Red Hat and Fedora documentation teams, and along the way I've picked up maintainership of a few Java packages that are important to our publishing process. Unfortunately, one of them is causing me some trouble on F15, and I wondered if I could get some more eyes on it please? The package in question is FOP, which we use to generate PDFs. I can build the current upstream version (1.0)[1], but it doesn't actually work! Instead, FOP errors out because it can't find the event-model.xml files that it needs. There's a bug open that shows the error message -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=689930 Comparing the package built on Koji with the binary available upstream, it seems that there should be one of these event model files for most of the classes in the .jar, but they're simply not created at build time. The problem is in our EventProducerCollector, which is patched to use a different version of qdox (1.12) from the one that upstream bundles with FOP (1.6). Specifically, clazz.getParentClass() is always null and would result in a null pointer exception: /home/rlandmann/rpmbuild/BUILD/fop-1.0/build.xml:374: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.thoughtworks.qdox.model.JavaMethod.getReturnType(JavaMethod.java:464) at com.thoughtworks.qdox.model.JavaMethodDelegate.getReturnType(JavaMethodDelegate.java:26) at com.thoughtworks.qdox.model.JavaMethodDelegate.getReturnType(JavaMethodDelegate.java:166) at org.apache.fop.tools.EventProducerCollector.createMethodModel(EventProducerCollector.java:142) at org.apache.fop.tools.EventProducerCollector.processEventProducerInterface(EventProducerCollector.java:130) at org.apache.fop.tools.EventProducerCollector.scanFile(EventProducerCollector.java:99) at org.apache.fop.tools.EventProducerCollectorTask.processFileSets(EventProducerCollectorTask.java:213) at org.apache.fop.tools.EventProducerCollectorTask.execute(EventProducerCollectorTask.java:69) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:291) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor7.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:616) at org.apache.tools.ant.dispatch.DispatchUtils.execute(DispatchUtils.java:106) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:348) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:390) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.performTasks(Target.java:411) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeSortedTargets(Project.java:1399) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:1368) at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor.executeTargets(DefaultExecutor.java:41) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:1251) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:809) at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.startAnt(Main.java:217) at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:280) at org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:109) ...except that we have a check at lines 125-127 that just quits if clazz.getParentClass() is null. If anyone has time and inclination to take a look for me, I'd appreciate any tips about what to try next. I can't see why getParentClass() isn't working on the various EventProducer classes in the source. :( TIA Rudi [1] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=246382 -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
