[udig-devel] [jira] Created: (UDIG-1213) null ptr when layer view is ope

null ptr when layer view is opened
----------------------------------

                 Key: UDIG-1213
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/UDIG-1213
             Project: uDIG
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ui
    Affects Versions: UDIG 1.1.RC9
         Environment: gnu: linux X Gnome
            Reporter: Adrian Custer
            Priority: Minor


If a uDig instance with a map has its layer view closed then opened or if uDig is started from a saved state where the layer view was not present and then the layer view is opened, then opening the layer view will cause an exception.

The problem appears to be restricted to opening the layers view when a map is already opened. A test of closing all views and opening each separately shows they all open correctly. Opening the layers view when a map is open gives the exception; closing the map and reopening it gets rid of the exception.

1) New uDig
2) close dialogs/intro to get to workbench
3) close the layers view
4) Windows -> Views -> Layer
==> The layers view re-opens, so far so good

5) Add a shapefile, drop it into the map view to make a map
==> The map gets a layer of the shape data
6) close the layers view
7) open the layers view
==> null pointer exception, see the 'details' button for the info

or, alternatively,

7) close uDig
==> There should be a ~/workspace file
8) open uDig
==> opens without the layer view open
9) Windows -> Views -> Layer
==> the layers view opens with a null pointer error (push the Details button for more).
