NullPointerException occurred in BrokerImpl.java
------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-261
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-261
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: kernel
    Affects Versions: 0.9.7
         Environment: Window XP
            Reporter: Teresa Kan
            Priority: Critical


While I was testing against the openjpa code, I got a NPE in the 
BrokerImpl.endtransaction() method. The method set the transState to an empty 
Collection if there is no cache for transactions. Later the code did not check 
this Collection and tried to iterate on it and a NullPointerException occurred.

Original code:

Collection transStates = _transCache;
        if (transStates == null)
            transStates = Collections.EMPTY_LIST;
.....
for (Iterator itr = transStates.iterator(); itr.hasNext();) {  <--- NPE 
occurred here.
            sm = (StateManagerImpl) itr.next();
            try {
                if (rollback) {
                    // tell objects that may have been derefed then flushed
                    // (and therefore deleted) to un-deref
                    sm.setDereferencedDependent(false, false);
                    sm.rollback();
                } else
                    sm.commit();
            } catch (RuntimeException re) {
                exceps = add(exceps, re);
            }
         }

I put a check before this "for" loop then the NPE disappeared.

if (!transStates.isEmpty()) {   
                for (Iterator itr = transStates.iterator(); itr.hasNext();) {
            sm = (StateManagerImpl) itr.next();
            try {
                if (rollback) {
                    // tell objects that may have been derefed then flushed
                    // (and therefore deleted) to un-deref
                    sm.setDereferencedDependent(false, false);
                    sm.rollback();
                } else
                    sm.commit();
            } catch (RuntimeException re) {
                exceps = add(exceps, re);
            }
         }
        }
The NPE.patch is attached in this jiar.
