init requires call to super.init()?

free1000 Jul 21, 2006 5:44 PM

I used the init method for the first time today and discovered that a null pointer exception was being generated by GenericPortlet trying to instantiate a null default resource bundle when my Portlet was being instantiated.

I got around this by a call to super.init(PortalConfig config) in my own init body. Is this a JBoss Portal bug, or am I missing something out in my own code?

yes you need to do that, otherwise you can override the method :

public void init() { }

that does not require a call to super because :

public void init(PortletConfig config) throws PortletException { this.config = config; init(); }
