    Description

      On the client side, during deserialization of an object graph, if one of the object's class doesn't have a no-arg constructor, the deserialization runs into a NullPointerException which looks like:

      java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.jboss.marshalling.reflect.SerializableClass.invokeConstructorNoException(SerializableClass.java:510)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.reflect.SerializableClass.callNonInitConstructor(SerializableClass.java:484)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadNewObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:1282)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:276)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:224)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.readFields(RiverUnmarshaller.java:1745)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doInitSerializable(RiverUnmarshaller.java:1658)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadNewObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:1285)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:276)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverUnmarshaller.doReadObject(RiverUnmarshaller.java:209)
	at org.jboss.marshalling.AbstractObjectInput.readObject(AbstractObjectInput.java:41)

      The class within the object graph that triggered this, in this specific case was org.glassfish.json.JsonLocationImpl whose source is here https://java.net/projects/jsonp/sources/git/content/impl/src/main/java/org/glassfish/json/JsonLocationImpl.java

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
