[jbossts-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBTM-2948) NullPointer exception when beforeCompletion callback fails to prepare

NullPointer exception when beforeCompletion callback fails to prepare --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-2948 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2948 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: Transaction Core, XTS Affects Versions: 5.7.0.Final Reporter: Ondra Chaloupka Assignee: Ondra Chaloupka In case of before completion fails to be processed it happens to be called a handler of {{preventCompletion}}. There is potential issue of receiving {{NullPointerException}} as rollback is called and there was not created lists (heuristic one in particular) as {{prepare}} was not processed. This situation could happen in case of trouble of WS-AT XTS of volatile participant. Let's look at the stack trace talk.
