[jboss-dev] Startup issues with testsuite's jacc-securitymgr config

[Brian Stansberry]

Ales, the last AS testsuite run failed to complete due to failure to 
start the jacc-securitymgr config[1], which happens as part of the 
tests-jacc-securitymgr ant target.  There's not much in the hudson 
artifact logs[2] so I've been trying it myself with boot logging to 
configured to log everything at TRACE to boot.log.

./run.sh -c jacc-securitymgr -Djboss.boot.server.log.level=TRACE 
-Djboss.boot.server.log.file.level=TRACE

With that I get a bunch of NPEs (more below). What's weird is I just did 
a simple

./run.sh -c jacc-securitymgr

and it started cleanly. A little while ago it had failed to start with 
the same uninformative logging seen at [2].

Anyway, an NPE is obviously no good. The NPE is in 
AbstractControllerContext, line 1315

   log.trace("Already installing " + name + " for " + 
toState.getStateString());

Perhaps something that came in with 2.2.0.Alpha3?  The stack trace:
