Hi Gilles,

Hi all,

Hope you've got a great summer, as for me it's always summer in the caribbeans.

Well, if you ever need a consultant you have my e-mail. :-)


I 've got an issue with localizating an testApp. I am using the code in the Chuck Hill and Sacha Book, and i get an IllegalState Exception as a result.

I tried to implement their code in my Session.java file (i thought it was going there, but maybe i completly misunderstood th chapter).

Here is the missing exception (that Gilles sent to me in e-mail:

Original Exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at Session.browserLanguages(Session.java:116)
at Session.<init>(Session.java:31)

I don't know who wrote that code in that book. Must have been some kind of moron. :-P I don't know how that got through the reviews and tech reviews...

Anyway, there is no context() available in the session constructor so, when you call this

this.setLanguages(browserLanguages());

in the constructor and it calls
	protected NSArray browserLanguages() {
		NSMutableArray browserLanguages = new NSMutableArray();
		if (context().request() != null) {

context() returns null and a NPE results.

To fix this, move the line

this.setLanguages(browserLanguages())

to the awake() method:

public void awake() {
    super.awake();
    this.setLanguages(browserLanguages())
}

Chuck



Hope Someone could help me …

Regards.

GM
