    ****************************************************************
    An internally generated CDI managed bean was getting generated
    and involved in event firing when processing Enterprise
    Edition injectable components.  This errant involvement might
    lead to the customer application seeing duplicate managed
    beans and/or NullPointerExceptionss during event/observer
    processing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The internally generated CDI managed bean has be removed from
    duplicate event firing and processing.
