Problem conclusion
The BValInterceptor was updated in the 1.1.2 version of Apache Bean Validation. This update fixed BValInterceptor to correctly handle beans that don't have a public default constructor, and therefore prevents the NPE from occurring. The IBM WebSphere Application Server has been updated to use this new level of Apache Bean Validation. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 9.0.0.7.
