The HttpModule Init method has not been called

Question

I recently implemented HttpMoudle. and stuck with an error calledSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Here is my code.

public class MyHttpModuler : IHttpModule
    {
        private static IAuthProvider authProvider=null;
        #region IHttpModule members
        /// <summary>
        /// Disposes of the resources (other than memory) used by the module that implements <see cref="T:System.Web.IHttpModule"/>.
        /// </summary>
        public void Dispose()
        {
            authProvider.Dispose();
            authProvider = null;
        }

        public void Init(HttpApplication application)
        {
            authProvider = new BasicAuthProvider("achievo");
            application.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(Application_BeginRequest);

        }

        private void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication)sender;
            HttpRequest request = app.Request;
            HttpResponse response = app.Response;
            TryAuthenticate(app);                    
        }
        #endregion


        #region private method
        /// <summary>
        /// Tries to authenticate the user
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="context">The context.</param>
        /// <returns></returns>
        private bool TryAuthenticate(HttpApplication context)
        {
            string authHeader = context.Request.Headers["Authorization"];
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(authHeader))
            {
                if (authHeader.StartsWith("basic ", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
                {

                    string userNameAndPassword = Encoding.Default.GetString(
                        Convert.FromBase64String(authHeader.Substring(6)));
                    string[] parts = userNameAndPassword.Split(':');
                     if (authProvider.IsValidUser(parts[0], parts[1]))
                    {
                        //the authProvider object sometimes is null .Why?                            
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }
            return false;
        }
        #endregion
    }

public class BasicAuthProvider : IAuthProvider
    {

        #region IAuthProvider Members

        public string DomainName { get; set; }

        public BasicAuthProvider(string sDmName)
        {
            DomainName = sDmName;
        }

        public bool IsValidUser(string userName, string password)
        {

            string sFullName = "LDAP://" + DomainName + ".com";
            bool bLogin = ADHelper.IsAuthenticated(sFullName, DomainName + @"\" + userName, password);
            return bLogin;
        }


        public bool IsRequestAllowed(HttpRequest request,string sName)
        {
            return sName == "joe.wang";
        }



        public void Dispose()
        {

        }

        #endregion
    }

Especially when several users get to the Website. A NullReferenceException occurred. and when I debug it, I found that sometimes the method Initcannot be called. Perhaps that is why an exception occurred. Can anyone help me verify this? thank

Answer 1

The problem is that (like Aristos ) it says that you did static authProvider.

, , , HttpModule . one authProvider.

, , A , Init. User B , Init . authProvider, A. A , , authProvider ( User B ) . B , authProvider null.

, , , static :

private static IAuthProvider authProvider=null;

HttpModule authProvider, .

Answer 2

authProvider, .

private static IAuthProvider authProvider=null;

, :

public class MyHttpModuler : IHttpModule
    {
        //can not be shared with others request.
        //private IAuthProvider authProvider = null;

        //We do not need it now.
        //private static readonly object _lockObj = new object();

        #region IHttpModule members
        /// <summary>
        /// Disposes of the resources (other than memory) used by the module that implements <see cref="T:System.Web.IHttpModule"/>.
        /// </summary>
        public void Dispose()
        {
            //authProvider.Dispose();
        //authProvider = null;
