Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS Users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: NullPointerException during startup * * of an Axis2 JVMSERVER. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** During the initialization of an Axis2 JVM server, the Axis2 framework attempts to delete temporary files created by all Axis2 servers on the LPAR. If 2 or more Axis2 JVM server are initializing at the same time there is the potential for a race condition during the deletes. This can cause one of the JVM servers to receive a NullPointerException and fail to initialize. Within an Axis2 JVM server the Apache Commons Logging component is provided. This is missing some of the logging implementation java classes which could lead to ClassNotFoundExceptions being caused during an application execution.
Problem conclusion
Updated the Axis2 Framework code to correctly handle the deletion of files and directories if another process has deleted them already. Updated the common-logging.jar to correctly include all the required implementation classes.
