Error description

  • BPMonitor causes NPE when being watched for a long time over
    slow network connection.

    maintained in Jetty code in the HashMap. Each Session object is
    created as part of the HTTP request and response request coming
    through the SI and Web browser...
    Customer indicated that they were experiencing the slow network
    in the web browser..
    Because of slowness in network, these objects were piled up and
    caused the OOM in SI system..
    We are confirmed that there is no memory leak in the SI/jetty
    code in the area.
    Current page access was causing NPE exception, because of the
    OOM caused. Session object was null, accessing this object
