Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server and using BPM (Business Process * * Manager) * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: NullPointerException occurs in EMF * * (Eclipse Modeling Framework) during * * initialization. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The following null pointer exception might be encountered when running BPM: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.emf.ecore.impl.EClassImpl.getEStructuralFeature(ECla ssImpl.java:803) at com.ibm.ws.bo.BOModelHolder.getElement(BOModelHolder.java:446) at com.ibm.ws.bo.service.BOTypeImpl.getTypeByElement(BOTypeImpl.jav a:103) at com.ibm.ws.bo.delegate.BOTypeDelegate.getTypeByElement(BOTypeDel egate.java:55) at com.ibm.ws.sibx.mediation.primitives.headersetter.HeaderTypeSOAP .getBOTypeByElementFromQName(HeaderTypeSOAP.java:2422) at com.ibm.ws.sibx.mediation.primitives.headersetter.HeaderTypeSOAP .findBOTypes(HeaderTypeSOAP.java:1621) at com.ibm.ws.sibx.mediation.primitives.headersetter.HeaderTypeSOAP .validateValues(HeaderTypeSOAP.java:1602) at com.ibm.ws.sibx.mediation.primitives.headersetter.HeaderElement. validate(HeaderElement.java:317) The EMF code is not thread-safe. The proper way to use EMF is to do all model initialization using a single thread. After initialization, multi-threaded access can be used. We suspect that BPM code is modifying the model after initialization is complete. This is difficult to prove since the problem could not be produced when debug code was active.
Problem conclusion
Double-check locking was added to EMF to provide a small measure of thread-safety. This protects the area of EMF code where this particular NullPointerException is thrown. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.16 and 9.0.5.1.
