| ant-contrib causing NullPointerException | ant-contrib causing NullPointerException 2003-02-11 - By Yaron Ruckenstein
Hi,
I'm using ant-contrib <Foreach> and <If> tasks. Once in a while I get null pointer exceptions.
Digging in the archive I found a reference from Geoff Meakin creator of the <foreach2> task See: http://www.geoff-meakin.com/antattack.html
This is a quote of what we wrote at September 24, 2002:
"Basically you have the trouble because the first time a Task is performed, it maybeConfigures its environment (see RuntimeConfigurable and ProjectHelper.configure) which overrides the values of your XMLattributes with the correct property substitutions. Now because thats already been done, if you try and do it a second time with the same Task, the properties dont get reset."
I tried his modified org.apache.tools.ant.RuntimeConfigurable class but that did not seem to solve the problem.
Can anyone help me with this problem ? Is there any way to go around this problem in the way that <Foreach> and <If> tasks are used ?
Thanks in advance,
Yaron.
