Hi,

We experience the following NPE in a web application using Spring.

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null

It happens via one of the controller methods and is quite reproducible. Is there a known reason and possibly a workaround for it?
How can I help identifying and fixing it?
Unfortunately it happens only on server, I was not able to reproduce it locally.

UPDATE: It seems that calling .flush() helps.

Thanks,
Alex

From the code, it seems the UnitOfWork's changeSet is null. This should never be the case, so something odd is occurring.

What do you do to get the error? Is it always the same error in the same place?

Are you trying to commit the same entity-manager/transaction on multiple different threads at the same time?

It happens in our web application using Spring Framework. Tomcat uses thread pool, but every request is handled by only one thread.

EclipseLink is accessed via EntityManager injected into controllers/services and it delegates to the instance created for the current request. Transactions are managed by Spring.

This exception was noticed in one of the controllers, however it can handle one record OK and fail on the other. The controller reads some data then creates 1 entity with some nested collections.

Exception happens if session is flushed automatically on transaction commit, but calling .flush() manually seems to help - that code path is not activated when automatic flush sees no changes.

Check that you have configured your transactions in Spring correctly. It seems you are getting the same EntityManager in multiple concurrent transactions.
