Error description
Error Message: Typically a NullPointerException . Stack Trace: Various stack traces are possible. Here's a sample: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.rmi.iiop.IIOPOutputStream.<init>(IIOPOutputStream.java:1 16) at com.ibm.rmi.iiop.ClientRequestImpl.<init>(ClientRequestImpl.java :135) at com.ibm.rmi.iiop.GIOPImpl.createRequest(GIOPImpl.java:183) at com.ibm.rmi.corba.ClientDelegate._createRequest(ClientDelegate.j ava:2016) at com.ibm.rmi.corba.ClientDelegate.createRequest(ClientDelegate.ja va:1186) at com.ibm.rmi.corba.ClientDelegate.createRequest(ClientDelegate.ja va:1278) . A field appears to be null or zero immediately after its constructor has finished, even though that constructor set the field to some non-null / non-zero value. This can occur with final fields, and with private fields that are only modified in a constructor.
Local fix
-Xjit:disableEscapeAnalysis
Problem summary
The JIT compiler incorrectly concludes that an object's constructor won't modify one of its fields, and continues to use a stale value of that field after the constructor call has returned.
Problem conclusion
This defect will be fixed in: 7.0.0 SR4 6.0.1 SR5 . The JIT compiler was modified to avoid this problem.
Temporary fix
