Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server Liberty Profile * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A NullPointerException is thrown when * * a class from the JVM classloader * * attempts to bind an object into JNDI. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** A NullPointerException is thrown when a class from the JVM classloader attempts to bind an object into JNDI, for example when an application attempts to construct a javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL.
Problem conclusion
Rather than throwing a NullPointerException in the method, the value of null is returned to the caller to be handled appropriately. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.0.1.
