FeatureProxyFactory bean should not through an exception while not initialized.

[karlbanke]

The bean should not through an exception while it is still uninitialized. Spring will complain with a warning that states that a proxy bean should return null when its type is not yet known.

Thanks for reporting this. I think this is already resolved in the latest snapshots.

Could you perhaps give 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT a try? It is available in this Maven repository:

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots

Thanks

[karlbanke]

The latest snapshot still has the code that creates the error. I suggest to change the code as follows

private Class<?> getEffectiveProxyType() {

    // prefer the business interface manually set by the user
    if (proxyType != null) {
        return proxyType;
    }
    if (active == null || inactive == null) {
        return null;
    }

[chkal]

Could you perhaps post the full stacktrace? I actually think the code is correct as it is. FeatureProxyFactoryBean.getObjectType() returns null if it is called before afterPropertiesSet() has been called.

[chkal]

I just added an additional check that verifies that getObject() isn't called too early.

[karlbanke]

Below find the full stack trace as thrown in 2.0.0. I had a look into the code for 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT and it seemed to be a problem still. However I trust that it is easily enough fixed (or simply overlooked it). :-).

[chkal]

Yeah, with Togglz 2.0.0.Final you will get such an exception. As mentioned before this is a known issue. But this error should be fixed in the snapshots. Could you try the latest 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT and post a stacktrace again?

[chkal]

Should be fixed with 2.1.0.Final
