SpringBoot application crashes with null pointer error when running locally without SAM local #104
Description
The problem is that this variable is a null value, when running locally with a manifest file.
A manifest file should be added to folder META-INF called MANIFEST.MF in package com.amazonaws.serverless.sample.springboot
The contents of the manifest file MANIFEST.MF should be as follows:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: com.amazonaws.serverless.sample.springboot.Application
The problem with this rest service, is that it creates a NULL value and crashes when running the Application.java locally within Intellij.
Question, what significance does the Principal variable have? If it runs locally, and that System.out.println has been deleted, the program runs with flying colors as expected.
Does the AWS gateway require a variable Principal as an argument, and if so, what purpose does it serve?
Note: I have been able to run without reference to that variable, and have deleted it, and added a manifest file and everything runs great locally with SpringBoot, and also with SAM local.
