NullPointerException in PageEditedPayloadTransformer.getOriginalId

XMLWordPrintable

      While trying to render notifications for page edits, PageEditedPayloadTransformer can get NullPointerExceptions while calling getOriginalId. This is because the PageEditedEvent is not required to contain the original page id - it can be null. The code needs to not implicitly cast a Long to a long, since that's causing the null pointer exception in this case.

      Example stack trace:

            This is happening to me in a Confluence plugin.

            Saving changes to page body content using PageManager#saveContentEntity

            I see it in Confluence 6.13.0 but not in Confluence 7.7.2

            Atlassian,

            What is the workaround to this bug so that my plugin can create new pages (using saveContentEntity) AND send a page created email.

            My customers are demanding this from me but I can't deliver. What is the workaround for this 3 yo bug?

            Thanks

            This should be fixed in 6.x
