    NullPointerException in DistributedPOJOState.fieldRead()

      Brief: NullPointerException in org.jboss.aop.versioned.DistributedPOJOState.fieldRead()

      I am trying to work with the Transactional Cache example present at http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=html&op=userdisplay&id=developers/projects/jboss/aop#cache on jboss-4.0.0DR2.

      I have two classes 'Person' and 'Address', as in the example, defined in package 'usm'. I have defined Person and Address to be advisable as:



      The code that I am running looks like this:
      final long lockTimeoutInMillis = 1000;
      final int cacheSize = 100;
      Address address = new Address("55 street road", "Boston", "MA");
      Person person = new Person("Bill", 32, address);
      TxCache cache = new TxCache(cacheSize, lockTimeoutInMillis);
      try {
      javax.transaction.TransactionManager tm = some code that gets reference of Transaction Manager;
      cache.create();
      cache.start();
      System.out.println("cache.start() called");
      cache.insert("Bill", person);
      System.out.println("Person inserted in cache");
      tm.begin();
      System.out.println("tm.begin() called");
      person.address.city = "Bedford";
      System.out.println("Bedford set");
      person.age = 42;
      System.out.println("Age set");
      System.out.println("person = " + person);
      System.out.println("Before rolling back tx : " + person.address.city);
      tm.rollback();
      person = (Person) cache.get("Bill");
      System.out.println("After rollback : " + person.address.city);
      } catch (Exception ex) {
      System.out.println("***************************************************");
      System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
      ex.printStackTrace();
      System.out.println("***************************************************");
      System.out.println("***************************************************");
      }


      With this code, I am getting a NullPointerException as seen from this stack trace:

      Here, the code on line 136 of DistributedPOJOState.java (I have only added some println() statements to this method for debugging) points to "Object val = update.getValue();" present in the code given below:
      public InvocationResponse fieldRead(Invocation invocation) throws Throwable {
      acquireReadLock();
      InvocationResponse invocationresponse;
      try {
      FieldReadInvocation fieldInvocation = (FieldReadInvocation)invocation;
      System.out.println("**** fieldRead:: fieldInvocation.field = " + fieldInvocation.field);
      Integer index = new Integer(fieldInvocation.index);
      System.out.println("**** fieldRead:: index = " + index);
      HashMap map = getTxState();

      if(map == null) {
      map = fieldMap;
      System.out.println("**** fieldRead:: map set inside if()");
      }
      System.out.println("**** fieldRead:: map = " + map);
      System.out.println("**** fieldRead:: map.size = " + map.size());
      Object ref = map.get(index);
      System.out.println("**** fieldRead:: ref = " + ref);
      DistributedFieldUpdate update = (DistributedFieldUpdate) ref;
      System.out.println("**** fieldRead:: update = " + update);
      Object val = update.getValue();
      System.out.println("**** fieldRead:: val = " + val);
      invocationresponse = new InvocationResponse(val);
      } finally {
      releaseReadLock();
      }
      return invocationresponse;
      }

      What am I missing here? Is there a problem with the code or with the AOP settings I have made to make Person and Address ?
      Anyways does this help: The stack trace includes the line "19:42:28,234 INFO [STDOUT] **** fieldRead:: map = {1=org.jboss.aop.versioned.DistributedFieldUpdate@1}".
      The map here contains an element whose index is '1'. Should it be '0'?
