[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-6044) NullPointerException when dependent jar is (re)deployed.

NullPointerException when dependent jar is (re)deployed. -------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-6044 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6044 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 7.1.2.Final (EAP), 7.1.3.Final (EAP) Environment: OS: CentOS 6.2 (64 bit) Java: java version "1.7.0_07" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b10) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode) Reporter: Corey Puffalt I have an ear containing an ejb-jar with a dependency on a jar file external to the ear but also deployed to JBoss (both files below are deployed to $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments). The structure looks like this: {code} kdmmailservice-ear.ear |-- META-INF | |-- application.xml | `-- MANIFEST.MF `-- kdmmailservice-service.jar |-- com | `-- kdm | `-- mailservice | `-- ... `-- META-INF |-- beans.xml |-- ejb-jar.xml `-- MANIFEST.MF kdmmailservice-templates.jar |-- META-INF | |-- MANIFEST.MF `-- templates `-- ... {code} The MANIFEST.MF in the ejb-jar above (kdmmailservice-service.jar) indicates its dependency on the kdmmailservice-templates.jar via a Dependencies entry: {code} Dependencies: deployment.kdmmailservice-templates.jar {code} As long as care is taken to deploy the jar file first, followed by the ear file everything is fine. But I need to be able to re-deploy the dependent jar (kdmmailservice-templates.jar) and when I do so, the ear file is undeployed and remains so due to a NullPointerException: {code} 08:50:50,640 INFO [org.jboss.as.osgi] (MSC service thread 1-3) JBAS011908: Unregister module: Module "deployment.kdmmailservice-templates.jar:main" from Service Module Loader 08:50:50,642 INFO [org.jboss.as.osgi] (MSC service thread 1-1) JBAS011908: Unregister module: Module "deployment.kdmmailservice-ear.ear:main" from Service Module Loader 08:50:50,643 INFO [org.jboss.as.osgi] (MSC service thread 1-8) JBAS011908: Unregister module: Module "deployment.kdmmailservice-ear.ear.kdmmailservice-service.jar:main" from Service Module Loader 08:50:50,699 INFO [org.jboss.weld.deployer] (MSC service thread 1-1) JBAS016009: Stopping weld service for deployment kdmmailservice-ear.ear 08:50:50,713 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-6) JBAS015877: Stopped deployment kdmmailservice-templates.jar in 73ms 08:50:50,715 INFO [org.jboss.as.server.deployment] (MSC service thread 1-2) JBAS015876: Starting deployment of "kdmmailservice-templates.jar" 08:50:50,718 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-1) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."kdmmailservice-ear.ear".POST_MODULE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."kdmmailservice-ear.ear".POST_MODULE: JBAS018733: Failed to process phase POST_MODULE of deployment "kdmmailservice-ear.ear" at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:123) [jboss-as-server-7.1.2.Final.jar:7.1.2.Final] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1811) [jboss-msc-1.0.2.GA.jar:1.0.2.GA] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1746) [jboss-msc-1.0.2.GA.jar:1.0.2.GA] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1110) [rt.jar:1.7.0_04] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:603) [rt.jar:1.7.0_04] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722) [rt.jar:1.7.0_04] Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.as.ee.component.deployers.InterceptorAnnotationProcessor.deploy(InterceptorAnnotationProcessor.java:43) at org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitPhaseService.start(DeploymentUnitPhaseService.java:116) [jboss-as-server-7.1.2.Final.jar:7.1.2.Final] ... 5 more 08:50:50,726 INFO [org.jboss.as.osgi] (MSC service thread 1-4) JBAS011907: Register module: Module "deployment.kdmmailservice-templates.jar:main" from Service Module Loader 08:50:50,911 INFO [org.jboss.as.server] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) JBAS018565: Replaced deployment "kdmmailservice-templates.jar" with deployment "kdmmailservice-templates.jar" 08:50:50,911 INFO [org.jboss.as.controller] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 1) JBAS014774: Service status report JBAS014777: Services which failed to start: service jboss.deployment.unit."kdmmailservice-ear.ear".POST_MODULE: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.deployment.unit."kdmmailservice-ear.ear".POST_MODULE: JBAS018733: Failed to process phase POST_MODULE of deployment "kdmmailservice-ear.ear" {code}
