Is this expeced behaviour: I'm running some tests for BeanMetaDataICF: | ManagedObjectFactory factory = ManagedObjectFactory.getInstance(); | BeanInstanceClassFactory instanceClassFactory = new BeanInstanceClassFactory(); | factory.setInstanceClassFactory(AbstractBeanMetaData.class, instanceClassFactory); | Which adds InstanceClassFactory for AbstractBeanMetaData.class. But then I was getting weird NPE exception in BeanManagedDeploymentUnitTestCase. AbstractManagedObjectFactory.getInstanceClassFactory was still holding weak ref for AbstractBeanMetaData.class, but the actual referent was null. | public <T extends Serializable> InstanceClassFactory<T> getInstanceClassFactory(Class<T> clazz) | { | synchronized (instanceFactories) | { | WeakReference<InstanceClassFactory> weak = instanceFactories.get(clazz); | if (weak != null) | return weak.get(); | } | return (InstanceClassFactory<T>)this; | } | Adding try/finally to my BeanMDICF test did the trick. | factory.setInstanceClassFactory(AbstractBeanMetaData.class, instanceClassFactory); | try | { | ... | } | finally | { | factory.setInstanceClassFactory(AbstractBeanMetaData.class, null); | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4096598#...
