    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A NullPointerException is thrown when   *
    *                      attempting to get the active user       *
    *                      registry.                               *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The isConfigurationDefinedInFile() method within
    UserRegistryServiceImpl did not contain adequate null value
    checking. The code attempts to retreive a value from the
    ComponentContext properties that could possibly be null,
    resulting in a NullPointerException.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Appropriate protections against null values have been added as
    well as additional trace for unforeseen exceptions. Exceptions
    will now be caught and traced when debug trace is enabled.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.2. Please refer to the Recommended Updates page
