PATCH NAME:          JBPAPP-825 PRODUCT NAME:         JBoss Enterprise Platform App Edition VERSION:         4.3.0.GA_CP01 SHORT DESCRIPTION:         A NullPointerException is no longer thrown when Unified HA/Clustered invoker proxy is under heavy load. LONG DESCRIPTION:         Under heavy load and sharing an EJB proxy between different threads, there's a chance of NullPointerException like the one below being reported, specially when using proxies configured with RoundRobin as load balance policy, such as SLSBs or EJB2 home proxies:         java.lang.NullPointerException           at org.jboss.invocation.unified.interfaces.UnifiedInvokerHAProxy.invoke(UnifiedInvokerHAProxy.java:186)           at org.jboss.invocation.InvokerInterceptor.invokeInvoker(InvokerInterceptor.java:365)           at org.jboss.invocation.MarshallingInvokerInterceptor.invoke(MarshallingInvokerInterceptor.java:63)         The exception was due to the assignment and initialisation of Remoting's client instance not being atomic. This lead to the client being used before its invoker had been set and hence stopping the invocation with the NullPointerException above.
