> I have a MINA-based server I've written that's up and running and works fine. 
>  I recently added a new bit of functionality to it, however, and it's now 
> throwing NullPointerExceptions intermittently.
> The server uses a text-based protocol (using TextLineCodecFactory). I've 
> added the capability to give the server a command line parm which is the name 
> of a text file, containing startup commands that the server should execute 
> after it starts up.  I'm doing this by having the server open a java socket 
> to the server's port on localhost, read the text file and write (and flush) 
> each command out to the socket.
> This is generally working, and the server is receiving and processing each 
> command (not always in the order sent, but I'm guessing that's an outgrowth 
> of my using a thread pool, and that's not a problem anyway). But from time to 
> time, the server is spitting out this error:

> Noteworthy aspects of my configuration:
> * using the M4 release of MINA
> * I'm not pausing between sending commands; i.e., I'm write and flushing them 
> down the socket as quickly as Java can send them
> * I'm using both a read and a write thread pool
> * building my filter chain as follows:
>     protocolAcceptor = new NioSocketAcceptor();
>     protocolAcceptor.setDefaultLocalAddress(new 
> InetSocketAddress(protocolPort));
>     protocolAcceptor.setReuseAddress(true);
>     DefaultIoFilterChainBuilder filterChainBuilder = 
> protocolAcceptor.getFilterChain();
>     filterChainBuilder.addLast("logger", new 
> LoggingFilter(ProfileCacheServer.class));
>     readerThreadPool = new OrderedThreadPoolExecutor();
>     filterChainBuilder.addLast("readExecutor", new 
> ExecutorFilter(readerThreadPool, IoEventType.MESSAGE_RECEIVED));
>     filterChainBuilder.addLast("codec", new ProtocolCodecFilter(new 
> TextLineCodecFactory(ParseConstants.UTF8_CHARSET)));
>     writerThreadPool = new OrderedThreadPoolExecutor();
>     filterChainBuilder.addLast("writeExecutor", new 
> ExecutorFilter(writerThreadPool, IoEventType.WRITE));
>     protocolAcceptor.setHandler(protocolHandler); 
> I actually did find a way to "fix" this problem but someone on the mailing 
> list suggested that MINA shouldn't be throwing NPE's regardless.  Fix is as 
> follows:   I was originally just dropping the connection on the client side 
> when I was finished.  But after changing my code to issue a proper "close 
> connection" command to the server before disconnecting, it looks like the 
> NPE's go away.
