Error description
Capital letters in username when human task is allocated to list of users produces a NullPointerException (NPE) . Problem description Steps to reproduce: 1. Import TWX attached to this PMR 2. Create user with username "test1" - be careful, DO NOT capitalize any letter in username while creating this user in internal BPM user repository 3. Start "ListOfUsersTest" BPD It produces Null Pointer Exception without starting BPD. Steps which will fix NPE: 1. Change "Init list" script, and decapitalize first letter of username like: tw.local.listOfUsers.insertIntoList(0, "test1"); 2. Start "ListOfUsersTest" BPD It is normally startable now Another check: 1. Change "Init list" script, and write in non-existing username, like: tw.local.listOfUsers.insertIntoList(0, "dummyUser"); 2. Start "ListOfUsersTest" BPD Error message is understandable now, saying that user doesn't exist. Another check: 1. Create user "test2" in BPM internal user repository 2. Change "Init list" script, by putting 2 users in list, like: tw.local.listOfUsers.insertIntoList(0, "test1"); tw.local.listOfUsers.insertIntoList(1, "Test2"); 2. Start "ListOfUsersTest" BPD Which doesn't produce previously reported NPE.
