Dist. Upgrade Leap 15.5 to 15.6 - Java Null Pointer Exception

dcurtisfra · June 17, 2024, 9:47am

Since the upgrade to Leap 15.6, a Java application is throwing the following error with both OpenJDK RE 17 and OpenJDK RE 11 –

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "sun.net.www.http.HttpClient.getOutputStream()" because "this.http" is null

I’ve reported the issue to the application’s maintainer.

Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue since the upgrade to 15.6?

dcurtisfra · June 18, 2024, 6:55pm

Having swapped e-Mails with the Java application’s developer, we can definitely say that –

The application is executing correctly on Tumbleweed with the Adoptium/Temurin JDK Runtime Environment.
The application is executing correctly on Leap 15.5 running in a VM with the Leap 15.5 OpenJDK 17.

With Leap 15.6 it doesn’t execute correctly with –

The Leap 15.5 OpenJDK 11/17/21;
The Oracle JDK 17;
The Adoptium/Temurin OpenJDK 17.

Download jameica from willuhn.de, unzip it and executing does work:

./jameica.sh

This is a Leap15.5 to Leap15.6 upgrade Version.

 LANG=C update-alternatives --config java 
There is only one alternative in link group java (providing /usr/bin/java): /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-11-openjdk/bin/java
Nothing to configure.

@Sauerland:

Yes, simply opening Jameica executes as expected –

But, doing anything which accesses the Internet errors –

More in the Bug Report …

Regardless of the Java being used –

@Sauerland:

Hmmm –

I’ll try a Jameica / Hibiscus reinstallation.
But, I simply copied the ‘/opt/jameica/’ directory over to the Leap 15.5 VM and, there’s no issues there …

Maybe, I’ll have to simply re-install Leap 15.6 – not every Distribution Upgrade executes without any issues at all …

I have downloaded it from the Homepage to my /home, unzip and start as User with:

@Sauerland:

See also the Bug Report.
Installed Jameica/Hibiscus on a Laptop that was upgraded from Leap 15.5 to Leap 15.6 –

Hibiscus can access the Internet URLs for the Plugins with no issues.
Installed the Certificate Administration Plugin with no issues.

Have generated a sorted RPM packet list from the Laptop.
Will compare that list to the equivalent list for this machine.

More later …

dcurtisfra · June 20, 2024, 3:32pm

@Sauerland:

When I initialise a fresh Jameica/Hibiscus instance, the issue disappears.
If I import a Jamaica Backup into the new instance, the issue reappears.

I’ve e-mailed this information to the developer.

Planned action –

Export all the Hibiscus bank transactions (dated from 2013 for one of my Jameica instances) and, import them into a correctly functioning instance – also need to setup all the bank account access data again but, that’s not such a big deal.
For the case of a JVerein plugin (Club data) I have a little bit of luck – a JVerein database extracted from a Jameica Backup .zip archive seems to function without any issues in a fresh Jameica instance – no need to export all the club members data and other club data and then, import that into a fresh Jameica instance …

The Bug Report will be updated in a minute or so.

Sauerland · June 20, 2024, 3:46pm

I do not use Jameica, I use Moneyplex for years.

dcurtisfra · June 20, 2024, 3:49pm

@Sauerland:

I also looked at Moneyplex but, I need JVerein for Club accounting.

For small clubs, there isn’t another Open Source alternative.
