My xmlblaster setup uses lostConnection from I_ConnectionProblems to implement a custom failover strategy on the client side.
I noticed that sometimes when I shutdown the xmlblaster server instance and the current connection is using XMLRPC, I get the following exception on the client side, which does NOT get reported to lostConnection():
[Mar 23, 2003 1:04:59 AM ERROR LoginThread-matighet] Unexpected exception while login polling: java.lang.NullPointerException
java.lang.NullPointerException

Furthermore, the connection seems to otherwise take publish calls just fine (but obviously cannot deliver them).
I'll try upgrading to the latest CVS (just in case someone already fixed it), as I'm running 2 weeks or so behind.
