Currently, cfdirectory throws a java.lang.NullPointerException when it encounters an inaccessible directory during a recursive list action.
Rather than throw that exception, it should skip the recursion attempt for those dirs.
Repro:
1) just create a child folder and remove all permissions from it
2) do <cfdirectory action="list" recurse="yes".. /> for the parent directory
3) see exception:
-----------
java.lang.NullPointerException said:The system has attempted to use an undefined value, which usually indicates a programming error, either in your code or some system code.
Null Pointers are another name for undefined values.
java.lang.NullPointerException
-----------
As mentioned by Michael Dawson, cfdirectory should return the directory, but should show some indicator that it was not accessible.
My suggestion: Maybe it could set an attribute like "I" for "I"naccessible.
