After running our JOnAS 2.2.6 EJB server (on Solaris w/JDK1.3.0) for several days or even weeks, we get a flurry of exceptions, rendering the server unusable. This has happened on 10-Jul-2001, 25-Jul-2001, and again today 30-Jul-2001. The sever has not been shut down for any reason other than this. Stack trace is: 2001.07.30 10:05:39.297 PDT RMI TCP Connection(51171)-10.32.56.168 kovair.trace:err - java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.rmi.transport.StreamRemoteCall.exceptionReceivedFromServer(StreamRemoteC all.java:245) at sun.rmi.transport.StreamRemoteCall.executeCall(StreamRemoteCall.java:220) at sun.rmi.server.UnicastRef.invoke(UnicastRef.java:354) at org.objectweb.jonas.rmifilters.RemoteStub.invoke(RemoteStub.java:87) at com.kovair.webdialog.manager.authorization.JOnASAuthorizationManagerRemote_S tub.createPermission(JOnASAuthorizationManagerRemote_Stub.java:233) at com.kovair.webdialog.manager.feature.FeatureManagerBean.canAccess(FeatureMan agerBean.java:931) at com.kovair.webdialog.manager.feature.FeatureManagerBean.getComponents(Featur eManagerBean.java:1046) at com.kovair.webdialog.manager.feature.JOnASFeatureManagerRemote.getComponents (JOnASFeatureManagerRemote.java:133) at com.kovair.webdialog.manager.feature.JOnASFeatureManagerRemote_Skel.dispatch (JOnASFeatureManagerRemote_Skel.java:274) at sun.rmi.server.UnicastServerRef.oldDispatch(UnicastServerRef.java:319) at sun.rmi.server.UnicastServerRef.dispatch(UnicastServerRef.java:187) at sun.rmi.transport.Transport$1.run(Transport.java:142) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at sun.rmi.transport.Transport.serviceCall(Transport.java:139) at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport.handleMessages(TCPTransport.java:443) at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport$ConnectionHandler.run(TCPTransport.java:6 43) Note that the FeatureManagerBean.canAccess() method in the above stack trace is invoked very frequently. The AuthorizationManagerBean.createPermission() method simply constructs a very simple Object and returns it. We are sure the problem is not in our applicaiton code surrounding this call. The code could not be any simpler. Why would this start happening suddenly after running for days or even weeks? BTW, I am aware of earlier postings that suggest the file referenced in java.security.policy property is invalid. Our contains: grant { // Allow everything for now permission java.security.AllPermission; }; Any ideas about what is causing this???
