            Bug ID: 3190
           Summary: JSObject.getWindow(null) NullPointerException
           Product: IcedTea-Web
           Version: 1.6.2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Plugin
          Assignee: jvanek at redhat.com
          Reporter: pdewacht at gmail.com
                CC: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org

A JSObject.getWindow(null) call results in a NullPointerException:

Exception in thread "Processor" java.lang.NullPointerException
    at netscape.javascript.JSObject.getWindow(JSObject.java:278)
    at
keytradebank.eidapplet.ReaderContext$Processor.run(ReaderContext.java:101)

(This is an applet "in the wild", not my own code.)

I'm not sure if there's a specification for this API, but this usage is shown
in Oracle's documentation, e.g. in
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deploy/customized_loading.html

    JSObject window = JSObject.getWindow(null);
    window.call("someJavaScriptFunction", args); 

as well as in other documentation (e.g. http://webswing.org/2.4/app/jslink/),
so I assume it works on other platforms.
