Hello @Cyrille_Mortier and welcome to the Sonar Community. I invite you to have a look at this post, answering a similar issue: > [@\[False Positive\]A "NullPointerException" could be thrown;](https://community.sonarsource.com/t/false-positive-a-nullpointerexception-could-be-thrown/47025/3): > > Hello @Bhuvana The analyzer assumes that two consecutive method calls do not necessarily return the same value. It means that a null check on the first call to getBody() is not enough to avoid a NPE. You should extract the method call into a variable to not have an issue. In a way, this is a limitation of the analyzer, it is not able to detect if a method always returns the same value or not, so it reports an issue anyway, taking the risk to report false positives. If you are confident your c… I hope it clarifies the situation. Best, Quentin
