  ****************************************************************
  When an object within a JSON schema has a logical compositor
  (such as allOf, oneOf and anyOf) which contains another logical
  compositor. If objects within these child logical compositors
  contains JSON schema properties, after application of the PTF
  for APAR PH30465, when these properties are processed, a
  NullPointerException may be thrown and DFHJS2LS will fail with
  RC 12.
  
  Method resolveAndCombineJSONObjectFromObject may have a
  NullPointerException in the case due to an expected NULL value
  being returned during the processing of the logical compositors.
  Due to this NullPointerException in method
  resolveAndCombineJSONObjectFromObject, message DFHPI9500E will
  be output in DFHJS2LS, with return code 12.
  

Problem conclusion

• UI72808 UI73138
  Logic in resolveAndCombineJSONObjectFromObject for DFHJS2LS
  has been corrected to cope with resolveJSONObjectFromObject
  returning NULL in this scenario, preventing the
  NullPointerException seen, and the message DFHPI9500E.
