Quartz Resourceadapter: Quartz with JDBC-Jobstore (required for Clustering) leads to NPE in QuartzJob ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJBTHREE-836 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-836 Project: EJB 3.0 Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Dieter Rehbein Attachments: ejb3tests.jar, quartz-ds.xml, quartz.properties For our customer we need clustered quartz-timers. This requires a JDBC-Jobstore (see http://wiki.opensymphony.com/display/QRTZ1/TutorialLesson11). Using a JDBC-Jobstore leads to the following exception: 16:46:40,046 ERROR [JobRunShell] Job default.job.0.1169048021109 threw an unhandled Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.resource.adapter.quartz.inflow.QuartzJob.execute(QuartzJob.java:53) at org.quartz.core.JobRunShell.run(JobRunShell.java:203) at org.quartz.simpl.SimpleThreadPool$WorkerThread.run(SimpleThreadPool.java:520) This is what we've done: 1. installed jBoss with ejb3 clustered profile 2. created a quartz.properties in directory <jboss-home>/server/default/conf (see attached file) 3. added a quartz-ds.xml to <jboss-home>/server/default/deploy (using a mySQL-database) (see attached file) 4. moved the file quartz-ra.rar from <jboss-home>/server/default/deploy to <jboss-home>/server/default/deploy/deploy.last (to ensure, that the JDBC-datasource is already bound to JNDI when the resource-adapater is deployed) 5. created a simple test MDB (see attached files TestJob.java and ejb3test.jar) and deployed it to directory <jboss-home>/server/default/deploy/deploy.last 6. started jBoss => you can see the NPE every 10 seconds I've debugged a little bit. This is, what I've found so far: * If a JobStoreTX is used as JobStore, the class JobStoreTX uses StdJDBCDelegate.insertJobDetail(..) to store the JobDetails in the database. The method insertJobDetail(...) serializes the JobDataMap into a ByteArrayOutputStream. The method endpointActivation(..) of class org.jboss.resource.adapter.quartz.inflow.QuartzResourceAdapter adds a reference to the MessageEndpointFactory to the JobDataMap (using the key "endpointFactory"). Since the MessageEndpointFactory is not serializable, the MessageEndpointFactory is not stored in the JDBC-Jobstore ! * The method execute(...) of org.jboss.resource.adapter.quartz.inflow.QuartzJob retrieves the "endpointFactory" from the JobDataMap (which returns null, because it was not serialized). In line 53 the method createEndpoint(..) is called on a null-object => NPE -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
