Patrick Linskey commented on OPENJPA-261:
-----------------------------------------

So you're saying that Collections.EMPTY_LIST.iterator() is returning null? That 
seems surprising. What version of Java are you using? Can you check if your 
Java version is returning null from Collecitons.EMPTY_LIST.iterator()?

> NullPointerException occurred in BrokerImpl.java

> 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();

>                 exceps = add(exceps, re);
>             }
>          }
> I put a check before this "for" loop then the NPE disappeared.
