I am trying to print a frame to a file using the AWT printing APIs. I am setting the dialog type to NONE and specifying a file name which actually represents a directory, through JobAttributes.setFileName(). I have set the destination type to FILE. When calling frame.printAll() I am getting a NullPointerException on Solaris platform. This is not reproducible on Win32.

This is reproducible right from JDK1.4 on Solaris alone. This is not reproducible when passing a valid file name.

I have attached a sample test. Execute the sample test on Solaris. Enter an absolute path representing a directory in the text field provided. Choose NONE option from the drop-down and click the 'Print' button. If you see the following exception on the console then the bug is reproduced.

java.lang.NullPointerException
