Getting NullPointerException when we load jolokia-jvm.jar through bootclasspath

[Matheswaranm]

I’m getting the below exception when we load jolokia-jvm.jar through bootclasspath

Java.lang.NullPointerException\n\tat org.jolokia.util.ServiceObjectFactory.readServiceDefinitions(ServiceObjectFactory.java:79)\n\tat org.jolokia.util.ServiceObjectFactory.createServiceObjects(ServiceObjectFactory.java:65)\n\tat org.jolokia.converter.json.ObjectToJsonConverter.addSimplifiers(ObjectToJsonConverter.java:350)\n\tat org.jolokia.converter.json.ObjectToJsonConverter.(ObjectToJsonConverter.java:80)\n\tat org.jolokia.converter.Converters.(Converters.java:45)\n\tat

In the Jolokia agent most of the places are using .class.getClassLoader() method for loading classes. As per the Java doc this method will return null in such implementations if this class was loaded by the bootstrap class loader.

Can you please look into this issue?

You are absolutely right, Jolokia shouldn't rely to the getClassLoader() to be non-null.

'will fix this ASAP.

thanks for reporting ....
