NullPointerException at arjuna when restart JBoss 5.1.0.GA

[gfzhang]

On some machine, when the JBoss 5.1.0.GA restarted, we got the following exception and the JBoss server cannot be started successfully:

java.lang.NullPointerException        

at com.arjuna.ats.internal.arjuna.objectstore.HashedStore.allObjUids(HashedStore.java:213)

It seems that removing the data folder ..\jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\data\tx-object-store could solve it, but it is not possible in a production environment?

Can this issue be solved by some configuration file related to the transactional manager?

Thanks!

odds are something other than the transaction manager has written to the objectstore. zip up the tx-object-store dir and attach it to a support ticket.

We find the reason. The virus created a file under tx-object-store.

Thanks for the support.
