    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5916?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13446724#comment-13446724 ] 

Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-5916:
----------------------------------------

This part of the stack is interesting:

        at org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.TopService.shutdown(Unknown Source) 
        at org.apache.derby.impl.services.monitor.BaseMonitor.bootService(Unknown Source) 

There's only one place where bootService calls shutdown like this, and it's
in the catch (Throwable) block.

It sounds like there was such a severe error trying to start up the database that
we were trying to abort the startup and shutdown the parts that did start.

But we were in a state where, having failed to start up, we couldn't shut down, either.

BaseDataFileFactory.stop is very thorough with its null pointer checks, so it's not
easy to see how that code could get a NPE.

But I notice that line 532, the call to storageFactory.shutdown in this:

        if (isReadOnly())       // do enough to close all files, then return 
        {
            storageFactory.shutdown();
            return;
        }

isn't protected by "if( storageFactory != null )"

Perhaps you could reproduce this artificially by arranging by forcing
the startup code to throw an exception at just the right point...
