> I post a mail to mail list to describe this. And Daniel fixed it very quickly. I still open this JIRA to record this issue, so that I can get a numbered patch merging to my runtime. Thanks.

> hi devs,
> I found some intermittent NullpointerException, and it is very hard to reproduce but I did have met a lot of times, and it is thrown from different places from runtime:
> Stack Dump = java.lang.NullPointerException
>     at org.apache.cxf.common.jaxb.JAXBUtils.generateJaxbSchemas(JAXBUtils.java:765)
>     at org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBDataBinding.generateJaxbSchemas(JAXBDataBinding.java:440)
>     at org.apache.cxf.jaxb.JAXBDataBinding.initialize(JAXBDataBinding.java:363)
>     at org.apache.cxf.service.factory.AbstractServiceFactoryBean.initializeDataBindings(AbstractServiceFactoryBean.java:86)
>     at org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean.buildServiceFromClass(ReflectionServiceFactoryBean.java:469)
>     at org.apache.cxf.jaxws.support.JaxWsServiceFactoryBean.buildServiceFromClass(JaxWsServiceFactoryBean.java:690)
>     at org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean.initializeServiceModel(ReflectionServiceFactoryBean.java:531)
>     at org.apache.cxf.service.factory.ReflectionServiceFactoryBean.create(ReflectionServiceFactoryBean.java:247)
> After checking the codes, they are all about the jaxbcontext is null.
> From the JAXBContextCache.CachedContextAndSchemas, I notice this line:
> private WeakReference<JAXBContext> context;
> IMHO, WeakReference is not a good choice to do cache, it could be gc in any time. For example,
> JAXBContextCache.getCachedContextAndSchemas(..)
> <gc>
> ctx = cachedContextAndSchemas.getContext()    <-- then the ctx will be null here
> So I guess this is the root cause of the intermittent issue.
