Opentimestamps - Java NullPointerException when trying to deserialize OTS file












0















When I try to verify a timestamp using the Java library, I am running into a Java NullPointerException.



I'm following the examples in the README of https://github.com/opentimestamps/java-opentimestamps



This is my code:



byte originalFile = Files.readAllBytes(fileData.get("absoluteFilePath"));     
byte originalBytes = new String(originalFile).getBytes("UTF-8");
String originalHex = DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(originalBytes);

byte otsFile = Files.readAllBytes(fileData.get("otsFilePath"));
byte otsBytes = new String(otsFile).getBytes("UTF-8");
String otsHex = DatatypeConverter.printHexBinary(otsBytes);

// below is from the examples...

DetachedTimestampFile detached = DetachedTimestampFile.from( new OpSHA256(), originalFile );
DetachedTimestampFile detachedOts = DetachedTimestampFile.deserialize(ots);

HashMap<Chains, VerifyResult> result = OpenTimestamps.verify(detachedOts,detached);


And this the exception:



java.lang.NullPointerException: null
at com.eternitywall.ots.Timestamp.doTagOrAttestation(Timestamp.java:101) ~[java-opentimestamps-1.16.jar:na]
at com.eternitywall.ots.Timestamp.deserialize(Timestamp.java:89) ~[java-opentimestamps-1.16.jar:na]
at com.eternitywall.ots.DetachedTimestampFile.deserialize(DetachedTimestampFile.java:107) ~[java-opentimestamps-1.16.jar:na]
at com.eternitywall.ots.DetachedTimestampFile.deserialize(DetachedTimestampFile.java:120) ~[java-opentimestamps-1.16.jar:na]
at com.fmr.ots.FileTimestampController.verifyDocument(FileTimestampController.java:110) ~[classes/:na]


Does anyone know how to correctly read the original file and ots file in order to correctly verify the file?

  • Thanks Progman - though I don't see how it relates to my problem - the parameters I'm passing to the Opentimestamps class is not a null pointer.

  • Please edit your question to include a MCVE which can be compiled and tested by others, which will throw the NullPointerException you get.
