Refreshing Spring application context leads to NPE
--------------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-4094
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-4094
Project: CXF
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Bus
Affects Versions: 2.5, 2.4
Reporter: Jens Borgland
I have a web application that uses Spring and CXF (currently 2.4.2 but I have
reproduced this on 2.4.6 and 2.5.2 as well) and is deployed on Tomcat.
The application is initialized using the
org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener.
Starting and shutting the application down works like a charm but if I try to
refresh the Spring application context, using
((ConfigurableApplicationContext)applicationContext).refresh(); I run into
problems.
The application context first destroys all its beans (including CXFBusImpl, or
rather its subclass SpringBus). SpringBus however calls ctx.close() on its
application context - leading to a NullPointerException when the application
context shortly after tries to close its bean factory:
{code:borderStyle=solid}
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.closeBeanFactory(AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.java:152)
at
org.springframework.context.support.AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.refreshBeanFactory(AbstractRefreshableApplicationContext.java:124)
at
org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.obtainFreshBeanFactory(AbstractApplicationContext.java:467)
at
org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext.refresh(AbstractApplicationContext.java:397)}}
{code}
I think that SpringBus shouldn't call ctx.close() in destroyBeans(). I tried
removing this row and rebuilding CXF myself which fixed the problem (and I
couldn't detect any other problems starting or shutting down).
