Error description

  • When making two calls to CICS using WOLA within the same WAS
    transaction, the second call to getConnection results in a
    NullPointerException with the following call stack:
    
    com.ibm.ws390.ola.jca.ConnectionRequestInfoImpl.equals
    (ConnectionRequestInfoImpl.java:259)
    com.ibm.ejs.j2c.SharedPool.getSharedConnection(SharedPool.java:
    293)
    com.ibm.ejs.j2c.PoolManager.reserve(PoolManager.java:
    2112)
    com.ibm.ejs.j2c.ConnectionManager.allocateMCWrapper(ConnectionMa
    nager.
    java:1061)
    com.ibm.ejs.j2c.ConnectionManager.allocateConnection(ConnectionM
    anager.
    java:698)
    com.ibm.ws390.ola.jca.ConnectionFactoryImpl.getConnection
    (ConnectionFactoryImpl.java:121)
    

Local fix

  • Make sure the OLA resource adapter is defined in the web.xml as
    Unshareable, ie
    <res-sharing-scope>Unshareable</res-sharing-scope>

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A NullPointerException is thrown by     *
    *                      ConnectionRequestInfo.equals()          *

    ****************************************************************
    A NullPointerException is thrown by the WebSphere Optimized
    Local Adapters function ConnectionRequestInfo.equals() method:
    com.ibm.ws390.ola.jca.ConnectionRequestInfoImpl.equals
    (ConnectionRequestInfoImpl.java:259)
    com.ibm.ejs.j2c.SharedPool.getSharedConnection
    (SharedPool.java:293)
    com.ibm.ejs.j2c.PoolManager.reserve
    (PoolManager.java:2112)
    com.ibm.ejs.j2c.ConnectionManager.allocateMCWrapper
    (ConnectionManager.java:1061)
    com.ibm.ejs.j2c.ConnectionManager.allocateConnection
    (ConnectionManager.java:698)
    com.ibm.ws390.ola.jca.ConnectionFactoryImpl.getConnection
    (ConnectionFactoryImpl.java:121)
    One of the ConnectionRequestInfo objects did not declare a
    registration name in its properties.  This is a supported
    configuration and the NullPointerException should not be
    thrown.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Code was added to prevent the NullPointerException when a
    registration name is not specified in the ConnectionRequestInfo
    properties.
