Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server V7.0 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Invalid document references result in * * NullPointerException * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The WebSphere Application Server Runtime Configuration Service handles the reading and processing of configuration artifacts during runtime. In cases in which the configuration service encounters a file that contiains in invalid reference (usually a cross-document "href" link, which are not allowed in the configuration), the configuration processing fails with a NullPointerException.
Problem conclusion
The configuration service now handles the null reference and throws an IllegalStateException with a message indicating the specific field being processed at the time of the failure. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 7.0.0.39.
