NullPointerException when merging views

XMLWordPrintable

    • Low

      NPR is thrown in the following method of JGroupsTransport:

      private boolean needsToRejoin(View v) {
      if (v instanceof MergeView) {
      MergeView mv = (MergeView) v;
      org.jgroups.Address coord = v.getMembers().get(0);
      View winningPartition = null;
      for (View p : mv.getSubgroups()) {
      if (p.getMembers().get(0).equals(coord))

      { winningPartition = p; break; }

      }

      if (Unable to render embedded object: File (winningPartition.containsMember(channel.getAddress())) return true; //) not found.!! here is where NPE is thrown
      }
      return false;
      }

      Here is the stack:

      Seems like winningPartition might be null in the method. This fails in 1/50 runs of StateTransferFunctionalTest.
