> If an exception happens during initialization of the repository, it might be
> overlayed by an exception thrown in the finalize handler of the
> RepositoryImpl constructor (see line 382 ff in [1]). The latter exception
> wins and the original exception is lost (if you don't have a log). This makes
> it hard to figure out the real problem.
> This problem is actually a bit self-enforcing: if something goes wrong during
> startup, the code in the shutdown() method that is called is actually very
> prone to fail as it might not expect such a broken-startup state. In my case
> the overlaying NPE happened in
> ObservationManagerImpl.getRegisteredEventListeners, where this.dispatcher was
> unexpectedly null [2].
> I think both places should be fixed (NPE guard in ObservationManagerImpl
> constructor for "dispatcher") and a try/catch block in the finalizer, just
> logging the exception:
> } finally {
> if (!succeeded) {
> try {
> // repository startup failed, clean up...
> shutdown();
> } catch (Throwable t) {
> // shutdown() likely to fail now, as startup was broken...
> log.error("In addition to startup fail, another problem
> occurred while shutting down the repository again.", e);
> }
> }
> }
