I have an application that uses the OpenSessionBackgroundProcess class as
described here:
https://docs.huihoo.com/apache/struts/2.1.8/hibernateandspringenabledexecuteandwaitinterceptor.html
It works fine the vast majority of the time, but every once in a while I
get a NPE at the line "synchronized (lock)" in the beforeInvocation()
method. I am unable to reproduce this error manually and really have no
idea why it occurs. Anyone have a clue as to how to troubleshoot this so I
can find a solution?
// Method where NPE is thrown
protected void beforeInvocation() throws Exception {
while (!initializationComplete) {
try {
synchronized (lock) { <-- **** NPE is here ****
lock.wait(100);
}
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// behavior ignores cause of re-awakening.
}
}
EntityManager em = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();
TransactionSynchronizationManager.bindResource(entityManagerFactory,
new EntityManagerHolder(em));
super.beforeInvocation();
}
