APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Some of the URI was missing in the plugin-cfg.xml generated
    during deployment of an enterprise application due to a
    NullPointerException during parsing of the deployment
    descriptor of a web module.
    

Local fix

  • Use GenPluginCfg command. GenPluginCfg will generate
    plugin-cfg.xml using one thread. The issue is related with
    threading error.
    

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server using the HTTP Plug-in Generator.    *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The HTTP Plug-in configuration          *
    *                      (plugin-cfg.xml) may be missing         *
    *                      information and throw a                 *
    *                      NullPointerException.                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The HTTP Plug-in Generator produces information for an IBM
    HTTP Server process so that requests are automatically routed
    to Application Servers hosting targeted applications. The
    generated configuration resource, plugin-cfg.xml, may not
    contain all necessary information to route requests because of
    a NullPointerException that is thrown.
    For example:
    java.lang.NullPointerException
    at
    org.eclipse.wst.common.internal.emf.resource.Translator.findChil
    d(Translator.java:126)
    at
    org.eclipse.wst.common.internal.emf.resource.CacheEventNode.isCh
    ildIgnorable(CacheEventNode.java:292)
    at
    org.eclipse.wst.common.internal.emf.resource.EMF2SAXDocumentHand
    ler.addToStack(EMF2SAXDocumentHandler.java:268)
    at
    org.eclipse.wst.common.internal.emf.resource.EMF2SAXDocumentHand
    ler.startElement(EMF2SAXDocumentHandler.java:183)
    at
    ...
    The NullPointerException causes the process to stop populating
    the configuration data (making it incomplete).
    

Problem conclusion

  • The module responsible for loading and persisting XML
    configuration documents has been updated to eliminate a thread
    concurrency issue that was causing the NullPointerException.
    There is no work-around for this problem.
    
    In addition, the trace for reading application configuration
    documents has been updated with new output to assist in
    diagnosing this and similar problems.  The updated trace uses
    the trace specification:
    
       com.ibm.config.eclipse.wtp.translator=finer
    
    Any problem which shows an exception from a class in the Java
    package
    "org.eclipse.wst.common.internal.emf.resource.Translator"
    should enable and gather trace using this specification.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 6.1.0.45, 7.0.0.25, 8.0.0.5, and 8.5.0.2.  Please
