Problem conclusion
The NullPointerException occurs when functions provided by the ejbRemote feature are started before the EJB container. The WebSphere Application Server Liberty profile EJB container has been updated so that the exception will no longer occur. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.9.
