#18 NullPointerException in SoapSerializationEnvelope

[hakkikt]

readSerializable(XmlPullParser parser,
KvmSerializable obj) throws a NullPointerException
when the namespace of a property of an object is
null. It also contains a trivial (always false) test for
null against info.

if (info.name == null
? testIndex == sourceIndex
: (info.name.equals(name)
&& info == null
||
info.namespace.equals(parser.getNamespace())))
break;

I believe the correct if statement should be

if (info.name == null
? testIndex == sourceIndex
: (info.name.equals(name)
&& info.namespace == null
||
info.namespace.equals(parser.getNamespace())))
break;

You can also add an entry for the namespace of the
PropertyInfo Object you create in your KVMSeriazlizable objects.

It's a workaround but the code's still wrong. Info can never be null but
info.namespace can. I'm providing a valid namespace for my custom
KvmSerializable objects but I also use some autogenerated SoapObjects and
they cause the NullPointerException to occur unless I use the fix described.
From the source it looks like I can use addTemplate to work around this as
well but once again it's just a workaround for that broken code.

Do you have a suggesting for a good fix and a unit test that
would show/provoke the problem? It would be awesome if you
had any suggestions and if you could move it over to
ksoap2.sf.net

Bug fixed in the code checked into CVS. Check the ksoap2 project.
