Problem conclusion
The WebSphere Application Server code was updated to prevent the NullPointerException and handle the IllegalStateException on application server stop. The fix for PM39338 is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.0.0.1. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980 The fix for this issue will be delivered via APAR PM39273 for WebSphere Application Server v7 Feature Pack for Service Component Architecture (SCA).
