APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Description: An incorrect pathway was discovered, which results in OpenJPA incorrectly inserting an Embeddable object into the L2 Datacache. Since embeddables have no identity of their own, inserting a null-valued key can result in a NullPointerException being thrown.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty - Java Persistence API * * (JPA) * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The OpenJPA persistence provider may * * attempt to insert an embeddable object * * with a null identity into the * * datacache * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A pathway involving an embeddable with a lazy loaded field may trigger a pathway in OpenJPA where it incorrectly attempts to insert a null-key/embeddable-value pair into the datacache. Though this nonsense data would not be fetched from the datacache, its insertion can cause NullPointerExceptions in alternate datacache implementations such as dynacache.
Problem conclusion
The faulty pathway has been corrected, and will no longer attempt to insert the offending data into the datacache. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack WebSphere 8.5.5.14, WebSphere 9.0.0.8, and WebSphere Liberty 18.0.0.1.
