Uncaught NPE in EMA thread

We are working with below EMA SDK:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.refinitiv.ema</groupId>
    <artifactId>ema</artifactId>
    <version>3.6.3.1</versio
</dependency>

These days we found some uncaught NulllPointerException in not .log file but standard output.

After discussing with Elektron Supports , we assume it should be a EMA SDK Bug.

Please help us check it out.

Thanks.

I checked the call stack and found that it is similar to the issue that has been fixed in RTSDK Java 2.0.5.L1 aka EMA/ETA 3.6.5.L1 aka 3.6.5.0.

[Case Number: 11101002] - [RTSDK-6069] - Fixed null pointer exception with request timeout

Please upgrade to the latest version of EMA.

    <groupId>com.refinitiv.ema</groupId>
    <artifactId>ema</artifactId>
    <version>3.6.5.0</version>

Hi @pengshuolin,

Can you please update the EMA to latest version and try again - the dev team has fixed two NPE bugs in the SDK.

For the team to investigate, they would need to be able to reproduce the exception. Can you also document the steps required that led to this uncaught null pointer.

Hi @Gurpreet ,

Such situation occurred when there are some ADS error.

And we thing the client should notify user properly instead just throwing the NEP and exit the thread.

Hi @pengshuolin,

I agree, if it is an exception condition, it should be raised up to the application layer for user code to react to it. Unfortunately, it becomes very hard for dev team to advise or fix an issue which they are unable to reproduce. So, I would recommend that you capture all the logs from EMA and ADS when it happens next time.

The Realtime SDK is supported by development team at this github site - https://github.com/Refinitiv/Real-Time-SDK. You can directly interact with developers by opening an issue there.
