[Building Sakai] Problem with Assignment Due Date

[Benito J. Gonzalez]

We found that the code in the BaseAssignmentService class was trying to
use a null submission object for a test in 2.7.1 (our current version):   

    The logic is that for a missing submission after the assignment is
    due, try to see if the student can resubmit late.
    (BaseAssignmentService.java: 5901): 

                if (submission == null || (submission != null &&
    submission.getTimeSubmitted() == null)) 

                { 

                    // if there is no submission yet 

                    if ((closeTime != null &&
    currentTime.after(closeTime)) && (*!canResubmit(submission,
    closeTime)*)) 

                    { 

                        return false; 

                    } 

                    else 

                    { 

                        return true; 

                    } 

                } 

                else 

                { 

    ... 

    It probably should be: 

            if (submission == null || submission.getTimeSubmitted() ==
    null) { 

                // if there is no submission yet 

                if (closeTime == null || closeTime.after(currentTime)) { 

                    return true; // assignment not yet closed 

                } else if (submission != null && canResubmit(submission,
    closeTime)) { 

                    return true; // late but can resubmit 

                } else { 

                    return false; 

                } 

Is there a jira?
