-------------------------------------

             Summary: JXPathContextReferenceImpl.addNodePointerFactory not 
working anymore
                 Key: JXPATH-166
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JXPATH-166
             Project: Commons JXPath
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4
            Reporter: Michele Vivoda


I tried the following in a single test run in isolation:

{{JXPathContextReferenceImpl.addNodePointerFactory(new 
ContainerPointerFactory());}}

and got ExceptionInInitializer, I see a refactoring for  JXPathContext done by 
[~ggregory] in last (recent) revision 1523175. Reverting to previous 1234255 
fixes the issue. 

The refactoring contains some static-init code in JXPathContext  that creates 
an instance of a subclass of JXPathContext itself... seems to trigger one of 
the rare occasions in which a static field might be null, as happens then in a 
JXPathContextReferenceImpl constructor where final field {{nodeFactories}} is 
null. My understanding is this: a call to any static method of 
{{JXPathContextReferenceImpl}} triggers load of {{JXPathContext}} class that 
executes static initialization code that creates a new {{JXPathContext}} that 
in turn is an other {{JXPathContextReferenceImpl}} with static final field null 
since the static initializer of its super class must still terminate. See 
something similar in http://stackoverflow.com/a/2547638/1536382 and 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2547713/why-static-fields-are-not-initialized-in-time

My fix is to restore the volatile lazy initializaton just for 
{{compilationContext}}.
