APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
"VUTrace.properties" file is an optional file for
getting trace option for VU component. The code just prints the
following text to standard out if it does not find
"VUTrace.properties file":
"java.lang.NullPointerException
com.ibm.ws.utils.VUTrace.initialisation 584"
It does not throw an exception. This is not a generated
exception by any process. This message can be safely ignored.
There is no side effect.
Fix the code so it would not
print above message when it does not find "VUTrace.properties
file"
Local fix
create a dummy "VUTrace.properties" file
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: NullPointerException message is written *
* by VUTrace when stopping and starting *
* a WebSphere Application Server. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
VUTrace was creating an FFDC entry if it could not find a
file called VUTrace.properties. This resulted in the
message java.lang.NullPointerException
com.ibm.ws.utils.VUTrace.initialisation 584 being written
to the FFDC log. There is no exception thrown.
Problem conclusion
VUTrace will be changed so that the FFDC error is no longer
reported. It is safe to do this, since the code in VUTRace
will create valid defaults if the file is not found.
Temporary fix
A fix is available from IBM
