Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I am trying to fetch messages from an IMAP account and I get a null pointer exception in BODYSTRUCTURE.parseParameters method.

Looking the parseParameters code, I find this line
list.set(null, "DONE"); // XXX - hack

The problem is that the set method tries to call *.toLowerCase()* to the null value !!!

The response it is trying to parse is this:

* 1 FETCH (BODYSTRUCTURE (("TEXT" "PLAIN" ("CHARSET" "us-ascii") NIL NIL "7BIT" 55 4 NIL NIL NIL NIL)(("TEXT" "HTML" ("CHARSET" "us-ascii") NIL NIL "7BIT" 410 10 NIL NIL NIL NIL)("IMAGE" "JPEG" ("NAME" "image.jpg") "<53498286-6B3E-4AC8-8CA0-481152C80968@xxxx.it>" NIL "BASE64" 536628 NIL ("inline" ("FILENAME" "image.jpg")) NIL NIL) "RELATED" ("TYPE" "text/html" "BOUNDARY" "Apple-Mail=_56FA3EC6-FB02-4882-A1C5-487652E3B4E5") NIL NIL NIL) "ALTERNATIVE" ("BOUNDARY" "Apple-Mail=_CB164992-2501-4351-94D1-61CE7C8D90DC") NIL NIL NIL))

and, enabling the debug, I get those messages:

DEBUG IMAP: parsing BODYSTRUCTURE
DEBUG IMAP: msgno 1
DEBUG IMAP: parsing multipart
DEBUG IMAP: parsing BODYSTRUCTURE
DEBUG IMAP: msgno 1
DEBUG IMAP: single part
DEBUG IMAP: type TEXT
DEBUG IMAP: subtype PLAIN
DEBUG IMAP: parameter name CHARSET
DEBUG IMAP: parameter value us-ascii

and then the NullPointerException
