NullPointerException issue

[jiangdequan]

Hi, wguttmn!
I met a NullPointerException, the following is error log

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.exolab.castor.builder.info.CollectionInfo.<init>(CollectionInfo.java:100)

Based on the logs:
the error happend at CollectionInfo.java in line 100

public CollectionInfo(final XSType contentType, final String name, final String elementName,
      final boolean useJava50, final FieldMemberAndAccessorFactory memberAndAccessorFactory,
      final FieldMemberAndAccessorFactory contentMemberAndAccessorFactory) {
    super(XSCollectionFactory.createCollection(SourceGeneratorConstants.FIELD_INFO_VECTOR,
        contentType, useJava50), name, memberAndAccessorFactory);

    **if (elementName.charAt(0) == '_') {// error occurred there**
      this._elementName = elementName.substring(1);
    } else {
      this._elementName = elementName;
    }

    this._methodSuffix =
        memberAndAccessorFactory.getJavaNaming().toJavaClassName(this.getElementName());
    this._parameterPrefix =
        memberAndAccessorFactory.getJavaNaming().toJavaMemberName(this.getElementName());
    this._content =
        new FieldInfo(contentType, "v" + this.getMethodSuffix(), contentMemberAndAccessorFactory);

    // indicates that - per definition - we are dealing with multi-valuedness
    new XMLInfoNature(this).setMultivalued(true);
  } // -- CollectionInfo

source code of (MemberFactory.java:229), the input elementName is null

public FieldInfo createFieldInfoForContent(final XMLBindingComponent component,
      final XSType xsType, final boolean useJava50) {
    String fieldName = "content";// new xsType()???
    if (getConfig().useOldFieldNaming()) {
      StringUtils.leftPad(fieldName, 1, '_');
    }
    if (component.getContentMemberName() != null) {
      fieldName = component.getContentMemberName();
    }
    FieldInfo fInfo = null;
    if (xsType.isCollection()) {
      fInfo = this.getInfoFactory().createCollection(((XSListType) xsType).getContentType(),
          fieldName, null, getJavaNaming(), useJava50);// line 229
    } else {
      fInfo = this.getInfoFactory().createFieldInfo(xsType, fieldName);
    }
    fInfo.setComment("internal content storage");
    if (xsType instanceof XSString) {
      fInfo.setDefaultValue("\"\"");
    }
    if (fInfo.hasNature(XMLInfoNature.class.getName())) {
      XMLInfoNature xmlNature = new XMLInfoNature(fInfo);
      xmlNature.setNodeType(NodeType.TEXT);
      xmlNature.setRequired(false);
      xmlNature.setNodeName("#text");
    }
    return fInfo;
  }

Can you help me find out the reson? Many thanks.

Can you please provide a (minimal) XML schema that I can use to reproduce this problem ?

https://github.com/iata-ndc/ndc-xsd-162
From there you can find all the xsd files that I used.

Apologies, but I am not capable of reading Chinese (presumably), and there does not seem to be an obvious language switcher either. Can you please upload to e.g. wetransfer.com pr attach to the GitHub issue ? Regards Werner
