WARN: Broken code ?

[sbotkine]

Hello, 

I have a strange behaviour in my bundle that's append each time my controller  return the following warning: 

[2014-03-19 00:33:17.100] WARN of-io-34-thread-1 hp.of.ctl.pktseq DE0005I Broken code? {com.unil.dhcpsdn.impl.DhcpSdnManager,DIRECTOR,alt=30000,care=[DHCP]}.event() caused exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

What does the message "Broken code?" means. How can I investigate it ?

It seams that this message is generated by the "pktseq" classe used by the  listener "controler Service" I use in my bundle. In which situation "pktseq" generate this error.

Hi sbotkine,

As you noted, the warning message is logged by the packet sequencer (pktseq). However, the warning is logged because pktseq caught an exception that wasn't handled by the SequencedPacketListener listed in the warning message:

[2014-03-19 00:33:17.100] WARN of-io-34-thread-1 hp.of.ctl.pktseq DE0005I Broken code? {com.unil.dhcpsdn.impl.DhcpSdnManager,DIRECTOR,alt=30000,care=[DHCP]}.event() caused exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

I would suggest looking at why DhcpSdnManager is hitting a NullPointerException. If you look into the virgo log and find this message, you may see the full stack trace of the exception printed.
