PI58799: IllegalArgumentException inJAX-RS InjectionUtils.java code

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

In the InjectionUtils handleParameter and
createFromParameterHandler WAS may instaniate a new Java
Object
based on a object type passed into the JAX-RS code.
Depending
on the Object type and the value being passed for the object
the
call to the constructor for the object may produce invalid
results such as IllegalArgumentException.

A example would be a Date object with a null value.  A Date
object can be set to a null value however, when the Date
constructor is called the Date must have a valid value as
Java
parses the Date.

One would see the following error for the Date case:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.InjectionUtils.handleParameter(In

ionUtils.java:449)

In the org.apache.cxf.jaxrs=all trace we would see:

org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.InjectionUtils
createFromParameterHandler
RETURN null


org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.InjectionUtils
getOrThrowActualException

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
at java.util.Date.parse(Date.java:628)
at java.util.Date.(Date.java:285)

Local fix

When using JAX-RS ensure that objects that will be instaniated
in the InjectionUtils code have valid values for the constructor
call.

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An illegal argument exception might     *
*                      occur due to an attempt to construct an *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
A null Date argument would be passed to a Date construtor,
resulting in an IllegalArgumentException.

Problem conclusion

Code is updated to return a null under these conditions, since
the object cannot be constructed.
