-------------------------------------

             Summary: NullPointer exception when beforeCompletion callback fails to prepare
                 Key: JBTM-2948
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2948
             Project: JBoss Transaction Manager
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Transaction Core, XTS
    Affects Versions: 5.7.0.Final
            Reporter: Ondra Chaloupka
            Assignee: Ondra Chaloupka


In case of before completion fails to be processed it happens to be called a handler of {{preventCompletion}}. There is potential issue of receiving {{NullPointerException}} as rollback is called and there was not created lists (heuristic one in particular) as {{prepare}} was not processed.

This situation could happen in case of trouble of WS-AT XTS of volatile participant.

Let's look at the stack trace talk.

First this is a failure of the beforeCompletion

{code}

{code}

as that failure happens we can see the later {{NullPointer}}
