Infinispan throwing misleading exception when river.jar is not present
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ISPN-1221
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-1221
             Project: Infinispan
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Marshalling
    Affects Versions: 5.0.0.CR7
            Reporter: Galder Zamarreño
            Assignee: Galder Zamarreño
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 5.0.0.FINAL


If JBoss Marshalling cannot find the River jar, the Infinispan code throws an NPE:

{code}Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
    at org.infinispan.marshall.jboss.GenericJBossMarshaller$1.initialValue(GenericJBossMarshaller.java:75)
    at org.infinispan.marshall.jboss.GenericJBossMarshaller$1.initialValue(GenericJBossMarshaller.java:71)
    at java.lang.ThreadLocal.setInitialValue(Unknown Source)
    at java.lang.ThreadLocal.get(Unknown Source)
    at org.infinispan.marshall.jboss.GenericJBossMarshaller.startObjectOutput(GenericJBossMarshaller.java:130)
    at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshaller.startObjectOutput(VersionAwareMarshaller.java:126)
    at org.infinispan.marshall.VersionAwareMarshaller.objectToBuffer(VersionAwareMarshaller.java:91)
    at org.infinispan.marshall.AbstractMarshaller.objectToBuffer(AbstractMarshaller.java:31)
    at org.infinispan.remoting.transport.jgroups.MarshallerAdapter.objectToBuffer(MarshallerAdapter.java:22){code}

This should not happen. Instead return a more meaningful exception.
