    • Workaround Description:
      Hide

      A workaround is to force the topicConnection to be created during app startup, so there would be no risk of having this race during concurrent requests. e.g.:

      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.*; 
      import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType; 
      import javax.jms.TopicConnection; 
       
      		 
      @Name("topicConnectionStartup") 
      @Startup 
      @Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
      		 
      public class TopicConnectionStartup { 
          @In(value="org.jboss.seam.jms.topicConnection", create=true) 
          private TopicConnection topicConnection; 
       
      		 
          @Create 
          public void init() { 
              topicConnection.toString(); // arbitrary call to invoke injection of topicConnection 
          }
      		 
      }

      Hide
      A NullPointerException from Seam's SubscriptionRequest component is intermittently triggered when a subscription request is issued by a client to a JMS topic shortly after initiating an endpoint connection. This is caused by non-thread-safe behaviour of a built-in Seam component resulting in race conditions arising. To work around this, eliminate the race condition by forcing the topicConnection component to be created during application startup. This is achieved by including the following component in the application:
      {code:java}
      import org.jboss.seam.annotations.*;
      import org.jboss.seam.ScopeType;
      import javax.jms.TopicConnection;

      @Name("topicConnectionStartup")
      @Startup
      @Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
      public class TopicConnectionStartup {
          @In(value="org.jboss.seam.jms.topicConnection", create=true)
          private TopicConnection topicConnection;

          @Create
          public void init() {
              topicConnection.toString(); // arbitrary call to invoke injection of topicConnection
          }
      }
      {code}
