 A fix is available

4.0.5: WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 Fix Pack 5 (Version 4.0.5)



APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
After upgrading the JDK for WebSphere 4.0.4 on Solaris from
1.3.1_04, a NullPointerException is thrown in CachedThread.run.
The initial portion of that stack exception is as follows:
     java.lang.NullPointerException at
     com.ibm.ws.util.CachedThread.run(ThreadPool.java:145)
Although it does appear to be causing any direct failures
Within the application server, the error itself does take up
space in the log files.  Therefore it is recommened that this
efix be coapplied with the upgrade of the JDK.
