[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-2796?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Dan Berindei commented on ISPN-2796: ------------------------------------ I found the problem: AbstractComponentRegistry.registerComponentInternal() injects dependencies only after the component is already in the componentLookup map in order to support cyclical dependencies. But all the "read" methods of AbstractComponentRegistry are not synchronized, so it's possible for other threads to read the component from the map before it has been initialized. You can reproduce the NullPointerException every single time, if you add a {{Thread.sleep(100)}} call at the beginning of {{AbstractComponentFactory.injectGlobalDependencies()}}. [~mircea.markus] I think we should probably create a new JIRA to make it clear that the problem is in {{AbstractComponentRegistry}} and we should also write a separate test for it (e.g. using a component that calls {{Thread.sleep()}} in its {{@Inject}} method). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
