Error description
When using JAX-RS and CDI, the following NullPointerException is seen in Apache Webbeans code. java.lang.NullPointerException: null at org.apache.webbeans.context.creational.CreationalContextImpl.get EjbInterceptor(CreationalContextImpl.java:147) [org.apache.webbeans.jar:?] at org.apache.webbeans.intercept.InterceptorDataImpl.createNewInsta nce(InterceptorDataImpl.java:466) [org.apache.webbeans.jar:?] at org.apache.webbeans.intercept.InvocationContextImpl.proceedAroun dInvokes(InvocationContextImpl.java:251) [org.apache.webbeans.jar:?] at org.apache.webbeans.intercept.InvocationContextImpl.proceed(Invo cationContextImpl.java:202) [org.apache.webbeans.jar:?] at org.apache.webbeans.intercept.NormalScopedBeanInterceptorHandler .callAroundInvokes(NormalScopedBeanInterceptorHandler.java:111) [org.apache.webbeans.jar:?] at org.apache.webbeans.intercept.InterceptorHandler.invoke(Intercep torHandler.java:271) [org.apache.webbeans.jar:?] at org.apache.webbeans.intercept.NormalScopedBeanInterceptorHandler .invoke(NormalScopedBeanInterceptorHandler.java:99) [org.apache.webbeans.jar:?] The problem usually occurs in the first call of the application. Restarting the application usually solves the problem. The null object is a CDI bean.
