Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When starting WebSphere Application * * Server a NullPointerException in EMF * * (Eclipse Modeling Framework) might * * occur. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** This problem might occur on average after 500 successive server starts and stops. The version of EMF included in WebSphere Application Server is not thread safe. Any code that makes calls to EMF is required to do so in a thread safe manner. In this case an initialization step was missed in the PmeextPackageImpl class. The result is that in subsequent processing, multiple threads attempted to peform the initialization which caused the NullPointerException.
Problem conclusion
PmeextPackageImpl has been updated to initialize EMF EAllStructualFeatures. Subsequent threads will no longer attempt to do the initialization because they find the initialization is already completed. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.3.
