NullPointerException from RefreshMsgImpl.toString and during payload parsing

in EMA

We've encountered a problem similar to

https://community.developers.refinitiv.com/questions/29297/nullpointerexception-from-updatemsgimpltostring.html

In my case , we are already using non-async logging for reurers' classes while the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and NullPointerException keep coming up from toString() method or during payload parsing.


Example from log file shows the exception when handling RefreshMsg :

As you might want to know , here is our relevant JAVA code

We use a simple "foreach iteration" in MessageUtil.translate to get and transfer data from FieldList into our Message


class EmaClient implements OmmConsumerClient {

@Autowired
    CallBackMsgHandler callBackMsgHandler;

@Override
    public void onRefreshMsg(RefreshMsg refreshMsg, OmmConsumerEvent event) {
        callBackMsgHandler.handleEmaMsg(refreshMsg);
    }
public class CallBackMsgHandler {
    public void handleEmaMsg(Msg msg) {
        Payload payload = msg.payload();

        if (null == payload || DataType.DataTypes.FIELD_LIST != payload.dataType()) {
            return;
        }

        Message message = MessageUtil.translate(payload.fieldList());
    }
}


public static Message translate(FieldList fieldList) {
    Message message = new Message();

    for (FieldEntry fieldEntry : fieldList) {
        Object field = parse(fieldEntry);
        int fid = fieldEntry.fieldId();

        if (LONGNEXTLR == fid) {
            message.setNextLk(field);
            message.setDir(true);
            continue;
        }

        if (null != field && !BLANK_STRING.equals(field)) {
            switch (fid) {
                //symbol
                case DISPLY_NAME:

    Hello @xinlong,

    Can we confirm, where CallBackMsgHandler is constructed?

    I have tried running an excerpt of the code included, without defining all variables, and it appears to result in the same exception.

    Can you try this modification:

    class AppClient implements OmmConsumerClient
    {
        CallBackMsgHandler callBackMsgHandler_;

        AppClient() {
            callBackMsgHandler_ = new CallBackMsgHandler();
        }

        public void onRefreshMsg(RefreshMsg refreshMsg, OmmConsumerEvent event)

            callBackMsgHandler_.handleEmaMsg(refreshMsg);
        }

    Let us know if this helps?

    ConcurrentModificationException occurs too...

    Exception in thread "pool-4-thread-1" java.util.ConcurrentModificationException

    With due inspection , we have no concurrent modification to the fieldList.


    Wish you could tell us how to fix or avoid all the exceptions occurred so far.


    Many thanks

    CallBackMsgHandler instance is a bean injected by Spring container

    I've tried your modification.However nothing was getting any better;

    Hello @xinlong,

    Sorry to hear this.

    Please share a minimal, fully executable example of this issue, and I will run it on my side to reproduce.

    I have modified your code shared, to make it runnable, based on the SDK example Market Price Streaming 100. Please find it attached:

    • Let me know how it runs for you.
    • Feel free to use it for the minimal example, to reproduce the issue that you see.
    • Please note, I would rather not create callBackMsgHandler inside AppClient. I tried to follow what you were doing, to help you pinpoint the issue. Rather, create it outside AppClient, and pass it in.
