PI26770: NullPointerException when application uses CDI @Produces method with InjectionPoint

Fixes are available

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

With WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5.3, given a class that
declares a @Produces method with a InjectionPoint as parameter:

- if the class itself has no field injected, the InjectionPoint
parameter is OK

- if the class itself has a field injected, whatever the field
is, the InjectionPoint parameter is wrong, it points to the
field that is injected in the producer class itself.

Local fix

An interim fix is not required as setting the following JVM
custom property will avoid the problem.

Set to "true": (default=false)
com.ibm.ws.webbeans.trackInjectionPointsWithStack

For details on how to set a JVM property, refer to the article
"Java virtual machine custom properties" in the Information
Center for your WebSphere Application Server version and
operating system.

field that is injected in the producer class itself.

Problem conclusion

The InjectionPoint processing was updated to avoid a case where
the injection point being processed was inadvertently
overwritten by another injection point.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.0.0.11 and 8.5.5.6.  Please refer to the
