When SMF recording is enabled, NullPointerException is thrown
when attempting to write out SMF data. Problem relates to the
way a BeanO object initializes an EJBMethodInfoImpl object.
Problem conclusion
When constructing a new EJBMethodInfoImpl object, the
MetaDataFactoryMgr was being set to null. Subsequent use
of this field yielded a NullPointerException. The
MetaDataFactoryMgr is now properly initialized.
