Local fix
Problem summary
In the exit trace statement of the STConversionHelperImpl.toSTSupportedObject() API, the case of a resulting object being null is not considered and, therefore, is still accessed, which causes a NullPointerException to occur.
Problem conclusion
A fix is/will be available that fixes the NullPointerException when tracing WLE.wle is enabled. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR50150: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR50150, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
