    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-4052?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12441584#action_12441584 ] 

Torsten Krah commented on JBAS-4052:
------------------------------------

It does not seem to me like a hot deploy issue.
I am getting a few of this NPEs per minute running quartz jobs (JBoss 4.2):

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.jboss.mx.loading.RepositoryClassLoader.findClass(RepositoryClassLoader.java:630)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:323)
	at org.jboss.mx.loading.RepositoryClassLoader.loadClassImpl(RepositoryClassLoader.java:474)
	at org.jboss.mx.loading.RepositoryClassLoader.loadClass(RepositoryClassLoader.java:415)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:268)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:336)

	at org.hibernate.jdbc.JDBCContext.registerSynchronizationIfPossible(JDBCContext.java:160)
	... 28 more


I do not redeploy anything, i only have to do a "tail -f ..." watching those NPEs running through the screen, causing my jobs to fail many times (Hibernate, JTA Transactions).
Any workaround there?

> Occasionally, I will get the exception below when trying to load the bouncy castle library. One would think it is a problem in BC, except for the fact that the NPE is clearly coming from JBoss's RepositoryClassLoader.
> The hard part about this bug is that it happens some of the time and not other times. It's been impossible to reliably reproduce. Restarting the appserver/jvm causes the problem to go away and everything works just fine, but eventually it will happen again. 
> BC is being started in a @Service Bean. The start() method looks like this:
> 	public void start() throws Exception
> 	{
> 		Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());
> 	}
