Description
FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java Web Start 10.40.2.43
Using JRE version 1.7.0_40-b43 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
My application was running fine until i upgraded my jre to 7u40. When my application is initializing its doing Logger.getLogger("ClassName"), i am getting following exception.
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at java.util.logging.Logger.demandLogger(Unknown Source)

The exception is coming from this line
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Applet.class.getName());
Could it be because of any sideeffects with fix http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8017174 ?
Workaround is to open java control center and enable logging. This is a concern since by default "Enable Logging" is unchecked. If i select "Enable Logging", application starts fine
REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u25
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Launch java control center and unselect "Enable Logging" from advanced tab
2) Create a sample westart application which initialize logging
private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Applet.class.getName());
3) Application is not launching
4) If you enable "Enable Logging", application launches
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should launch always irrespective of the "Enable Logging" checkbox.
ACTUAL -
Application fails with a nullpointer exception.
