When I do the following it sometimes returns a NullPointerException: DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:;shutdown=true;deregister=false");
Here is the exception stack trace: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.xact.XactFactory.add(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.xact.XactFactory.pushTransactionContext(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.xact.XactFactory.startInternalTransaction(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.log.LogToFile.checkpointWithTran(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.log.LogToFile.checkpoint(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.RawStore.stop(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.TopService.stop(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.TopService.shutdown(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.BaseMonitor.shutdown(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.BaseMonitor.shutdown(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.jdbc.InternalDriver.connect(Unknown Source) at org.apache.derby.jdbc.AutoloadedDriver.connect(Unknown Source) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:399) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:350) Does anyone know why this is happening? I am using Derby 10.8.2.3 Thanks, Oskar Zinger
