I fear that this is just another offshoot of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-4485

Thomas Butz:
As for the additional details, the chain of events begins with a singleton bean annotated with @Startup that sends messages to a JMS topic.

Deferring the message sending (tested with a TimerService) seems to be enough to avoid triggering the problem.

I can try to come up with a reproducer, but it is unlikely that I will succeed, as our current stack is quite complex. However, please feel free to ask any questions or tell me how I can provide the necessary debug information.



Richard Zowalla:
Hi,

It seems that the information provided isn't sufficient to determine the root cause.
Would you be able to share a reproducer or additional details?

Hi, I'm currently struggling with a potential bug in TomEE 10.1.0. The problem seems to be triggered by the early injection of a stateless EJB during server startup. This results in a cascade of NPEs for subsequent stateless EJB injections.

This is the first exception that can be observed during the startup phase:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.apache.openejb.core.stateless.StatelessInstanceManager$Data.poolPop()" because "data" is null at org.apache.openejb.core.stateless.StatelessInstanceManager.getInstance(StatelessInstanceManager.java:218) ~[?:?] at org.apache.openejb.core.stateless.StatelessContainer.invoke(StatelessContainer.java:204) ~[?:?] at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.EjbObjectProxyHandler.synchronizedBusinessMethod(EjbObjectProxyHandler.java:265) ~[?:?] at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.EjbObjectProxyHandler.businessMethod(EjbObjectProxyHandler.java:260) ~[?:?] at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.EjbObjectProxyHandler._invoke(EjbObjectProxyHandler.java:89) ~[?:?] at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.BaseEjbProxyHandler.invoke(BaseEjbProxyHandler.java:349) ~[?:?] at jdk.proxy17/jdk.proxy17.$Proxy272.doMasterDataExport(Unknown Source) ~[?:?] at de.optitool.bean.export.AsyncExportBean.handleMessage(AsyncExportBean.java:176) ~[?:?] at de.optitool.bean.export.AsyncExportBean.onMessage(AsyncExportBean.java:92) ~[?:?] at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DirectMethodHandleAccessor.invoke(DirectMethodHandleAccessor.java:103) ~[?:?]

The AsyncExportBean is a message-driven bean which tries to invoke the "doMasterDataExport()" of a local stateless EJB injected with @EJB.

I quickly skimmed through the StatelessInstanceManager code, and it doesn't seem to expect BeanContext.getContainerData() to return a null value.
