Service Deploy shows Null Pointer Exception in the log files for WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WESB)

Troubleshooting


Problem

A Null Pointer Exception might be shown in the log files when the serviceDeploy is validating a Business Object Map primitive.

Symptom

When you use the serviceDeploy script to generate an enterprise archive (EAR) file, you might see a "java.lang.NullPointerException" in the serviceDeploy log file.

Here is snippet from log file:

!ENTRY com.ibm.wbit.sib.mfc.validation 4 0 2008-10-14 17:49:36.046
!MESSAGE Validating map terminal types against map

Cause

This issue is not a failure; just the exception in the log files.

Resolving The Problem

The existence of the exception does not indicate any true failure of function. The fix is targeted for a future release.
