During EAP 6.1.1.ER4 testing, we've seen this exception: 11:40:46,086 ERROR [org.jboss.as.ejb3.invocation] (EJB default - 3) JBAS014134: EJB Invocation failed on component ForwardingStatefulSBImpl for method public abstract int org.jboss.test.clusterbench.common.ejb.CommonStatefulSB.getSerialAndIncrement(): javax.ejb.EJBException: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.as.ejb3.tx.CMTTxInterceptor.handleExceptionInOurTx(CMTTxInterceptor.java:165) [jboss-as-ejb3-7.2.1.Final-redhat-5.jar:7.2.1.Final-redhat-5] at org.jboss.as.ejb3.tx.CMTTxInterceptor.invokeInOurTx(CMTTxInterceptor.java:250) [jboss-as-ejb3-7.2.1.Final-redhat-5.jar:7.2.1.Final-redhat-5] at org.jboss.as.ejb3.tx.CMTTxInterceptor.required(CMTTxInterceptor.java:315) [jboss-as-ejb3-7.2.1.Final-redhat-5.jar:7.2.1.Final-redhat-5] ...

This is a scenario with a standalone client and 2 clusters (client -> forwarding cluster -> target cluster and back) and the exception happens in the forwarding cluster when the node is being shut down.

This is fixed in 1.0.24 version of EJB client library (which isn't released yet). If this is critical, let me know, I'll release it tonight.
I believe that this isn't critical, as we only hit it in a single test and it happens after the server (which is also the client) has been shut down.
Update from 6.2.0.ER3 testing: this error was seen again (as expected, ER3 contains ejb client library v. 1.0.23), but the frequency of this got up: around 30 NPEs in one test running 20 mins.

Hi I'm having this NPE very frequently, I'm currently using the EAP6.1.0 (tried with EAP 6.1.1 also). Where I can find this 1.0.24 version of the client libray? Thank you
Assigning jpai EJB issues to david.lloyd. Please re-assign to Cheng or others as needed.
6.3.0.ER9 contains EJB client 1.0.25.Final, 6.2.0.GA contains 1.0.24.Final.. So I suppose this should be fixed already. Ladislav, could you have a look?
Right, this was last seen in 6.2.0.ER3, which had 1.0.23. EJB client was upgraded to 1.0.24 in 6.2.0.CR1 (fix for this issue is in https://github.com/jbossas/jboss-ejb-client/commit/0a4a558), so this is indeed fixed in 6.2.0 already.
