 Description   

After pressing save in the intro dialog of a page the dialog turned into a blank page and didn't close. The log showed:

ERROR  info.magnolia.cms.servlets.MVCServletHandlerImpl 19.12.2013 13:43:06 -- can't call command: save
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at info.magnolia.module.categorization.controls.CategorizationSaveHandler.processMultiple(CategorizationSaveHandler.java:90)
	at info.magnolia.module.categorization.controls.CategorizationSaveHandler.save(CategorizationSaveHandler.java:113)
	at info.magnolia.module.admininterface.SaveHandlerImpl.processSaveInfo(SaveHandlerImpl.java:350)
	at info.magnolia.module.admininterface.SaveHandlerImpl.save(SaveHandlerImpl.java:234)
	at info.magnolia.module.admininterface.DialogMVCHandler.onSave(DialogMVCHandler.java:354)
	at info.magnolia.module.admininterface.DialogMVCHandler.save(DialogMVCHandler.java:236)
        (...)

Checking the category tab of the dialog I found there was a reference to a category that did not exist (anymore?), which showed a UUID instead of a category path.

It would be nice if this situation did not cause a NPE, but would be handled more gracefully.

This should not be a problem in 5.x but still, it would be good to verify.

Hello, 

This ticket is now marked as closed due to one of the following reasons: 

  • A long period of inactivity

  • The issue is no longer reproducible or has been fixed in later versions 

If you are still facing a problem or consider this issue still relevant, please feel free to re-open the ticket and we will reach out to you.
