Daniel Kulp resolved CXF-4094. ------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: 2.5.3 2.4.7 Assignee: Daniel Kulp > Refreshing Spring application context leads to NPE > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CXF-4094 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4094 > Project: CXF > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Bus > Affects Versions: 2.4, 2.5 > Reporter: Jens Borgland > Assignee: Daniel Kulp > Fix For: 2.4.7, 2.5.3 > > > I have a web application that uses Spring and CXF (currently 2.4.2 but I have > reproduced this on 2.4.6 and 2.5.2 as well) and is deployed on Tomcat. > The application is initialized using the > org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener. > Starting and shutting the application down works like a charm but if I try to > refresh the Spring application context, using > ((ConfigurableApplicationContext)applicationContext).refresh(); I run into > problems. > The application context first destroys all its beans (including CXFBusImpl, > or rather its subclass SpringBus). SpringBus however calls ctx.close() on its > application context - leading to a NullPointerException when the application > context shortly after tries to close its bean factory: > {code:borderStyle=solid} > java.lang.NullPointerException > at > org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.closeBeanFactory(AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.java:152) > > at > org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.refreshBeanFactory(AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.java:124) > > at > org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.obtainFreshBeanFactory(AbstractApplicationContext.java:467) > > at > org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(AbstractApplicationContext.java:397)}} > {code} > > I think that SpringBus shouldn't call ctx.close() in destroyBeans(). I tried > removing this row and rebuilding CXF myself which fixed the problem (and I > couldn't detect any other problems starting or shutting down). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
