[jboss-dev] Startup issues with testsuite's jacc-securitymgr config

Ales, the last AS testsuite run failed to complete due to failure to start the jacc-securitymgr config[1], which happens as part of the tests-jacc-securitymgr ant target. There's not much in the hudson artifact logs[2] so I've been trying it myself with boot logging to configured to log everything at TRACE to boot.log. ./run.sh -c jacc-securitymgr -Djboss.boot.server.log.level=TRACE -Djboss.boot.server.log.file.level=TRACE With that I get a bunch of NPEs (more below). What's weird is I just did a simple ./run.sh -c jacc-securitymgr and it started cleanly. A little while ago it had failed to start with the same uninformative logging seen at [2]. Anyway, an NPE is obviously no good. The NPE is in AbstractControllerContext, line 1315 log.trace("Already installing " + name + " for " + toState.getStateString()); Perhaps something that came in with 2.2.0.Alpha3?
