[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JGRP-715) NullPointerException after webapp is undeployed

NullPointerException after webapp is undeployed ----------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-715 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-715 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.2.8 Environment: Tomcat 5.5, OSCache 2.4.1, JGroups 2.2.8, Log4j 1.2.13 Reporter: Stephen Wick Assigned To: Bela Ban Priority: Critical Attachments: example.war Tomcat (or any application server for that matter) becomes extremely unstable after undeploying/redeploying a webapp that uses OSCache and JGroups. JGroups creates several Threads when the webapp is deployed, but it does not stop these Threads when the webapp is undeployed. The Threads begin to throw all kinds of Exceptions including NullPointerExceptions after the application has been undeployed/redeployed a few times. Eventually you have no choice but to KILL the tomcat process and start it over. The log files also start filling up with all of the Exception stack traces, and performance slows to a halt. I am attaching an example web application, example.war, which describes and exhibits the problem. JGroups needs to be modified to shut down cleanly. I'm not sure how or when this should happen. -- 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
