I'm using activemq 5.9.0 and sometimes get the following exception: INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | Exception in thread "ActiveMQ BrokerService[ig2-4] Task-15" java.lang.NullPointerException INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.openwire.v5.BaseDataStreamMarshaller.tightMarshalByteSequence2(BaseDataStreamMarshaller.java:431) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.openwire.v5.MessageMarshaller.tightMarshal2(MessageMarshaller.java:181) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.openwire.v5.ActiveMQMessageMarshaller.tightMarshal2(ActiveMQMessageMarshaller.java:89) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.openwire.v5.ActiveMQBytesMessageMarshaller.tightMarshal2(ActiveMQBytesMessageMarshaller.java:89) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.openwire.OpenWireFormat.tightMarshalNestedObject2(OpenWireFormat.java:433) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.openwire.v5.BaseDataStreamMarshaller.tightMarshalNestedObject2(BaseDataStreamMarshaller.java:136) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.openwire.v5.MessageDispatchMarshaller.tightMarshal2(MessageDispatchMarshaller.java:105) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.openwire.OpenWireFormat.marshal(OpenWireFormat.java:243) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.transport.tcp.TcpTransport.oneway(TcpTransport.java:175) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.transport.AbstractInactivityMonitor.doOnewaySend(AbstractInactivityMonitor.java:304) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.transport.AbstractInactivityMonitor.oneway(AbstractInactivityMonitor.java:286) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.transport.TransportFilter.oneway(TransportFilter.java:85) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.transport.WireFormatNegotiator.oneway(WireFormatNegotiator.java:104) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.transport.MutexTransport.oneway(MutexTransport.java:68) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.dispatch(TransportConnection.java:1339) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.processDispatch(TransportConnection.java:858) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.iterate(TransportConnection.java:904) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.thread.PooledTaskRunner.runTask(PooledTaskRunner.java:129) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at org.apache.activemq.thread.PooledTaskRunner$1.run(PooledTaskRunner.java:47) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) INFO | jvm 1 | 2014/09/08 13:14:14 | at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:722)
It happens with traffic and without. I have investigated little bit the source code and found out that it may happen when broker tries to send a message without header parameters (it checks the length of marshaled parameters when it is null). The questions are: Why the broker tries to send a message without header parameters even if there is no traffic? Can it harm in any way and if so, then how would it harm? How can I configure the broker to prevent that exception? Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/sometimes-java-lang-NullPointerException-tp4685956.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
