Error description
When the com.ibm.websphere.ejbcontainer.poolSize JVM property is used to configure pre-loading of EJB pools when the bean starts, a NullPointerException may occur in com.ibm.ws.cdi.impl.managedobject.CDIEJBManagedObjectFactory Impl.getEjbDescriptor when the bean instances are being created. The exception stack would be similar to this: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.ws.cdi.impl.managedobject.CDIEJBManagedObjectFactory Impl.getEjbDescriptor(CDIEJBManagedObjectFactoryImpl.java:13 9) at com.ibm.ws.cdi.impl.managedobject.CDIEJBManagedObjectFactory Impl.createContext(CDIEJBManagedObjectFactoryImpl.java:73) at com.ibm.ejs.container.ManagedBeanOBase.createInterceptorsAnd Instance(ManagedBeanOBase.java:191) at com.ibm.ejs.container.StatelessBeanO.initialize(StatelessBea nO.java:165) at com.ibm.ejs.container.BeanOFactory.create(BeanOFactory.java: 105) at com.ibm.ejs.container.EJSHome.preLoadBeanPool(EJSHome.java:6 10) at com.ibm.ejs.container.EJSHome.access$000(EJSHome.java:81) at com.ibm.ejs.container.EJSHome$1.run(EJSHome.java:574) at com.ibm.ejs.util.am.AlarmManagerCSLM$AbstractScheduledExecut orService$RunnableAlarm.runImpl(AlarmManagerCSLM.java:653) at com.ibm.ejs.util.am._Alarm.run(_Alarm.java:136) at com.ibm.ws.util.ThreadPool$Worker.run(ThreadPool.java:1892)

Problem conclusion
The failure occurs because the EJB context is not available on the thread that is used to pre-load the bean pool. The EJB container has been updated to make the EJB context available on the pre-load bean pool thread. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 8.5.5.11 and 9.0.0.1 for WebSphere Application Server and 16.0.0.3 for WebSphere Application Server Liberty.
