After an application was upgraded from using 7u21 to using 8u51, there are many NullPointerException thrown. On debugging, it was found SwingUtilities.<method_name> threw NPE over the RMI calls. Following are some problem and stack traces: 1: Creating any Swing component in RMI thread throws NPE. In our application we create JRadioButton in RMI thread which throws the following exception: Exception in thread "Thread-339" java.lang.NullPointerException at javax.swing.SwingUtilities.appContextGet(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.getDefaultLocale(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.<init>(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.<init>(Unknown Source) 2: On calling invokeLater(), invokeAndWait(), isEventDispatchThread() methods, RMI thread throws NPE. These are the methods where we see the exception and there are other methods in SwingUtilities which throw NPE: java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.awt.SunToolkit.getSystemEventQueueImplPP(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.SunToolkit.getSystemEventQueueImplPP(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.SunToolkit.getSystemEventQueueImpl(Unknown Source) 3: Appending text to JTextArea in RMI thread is throwing NPE: java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.awt.SunToolkit.getSystemEventQueueImplPP(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.SunToolkit.getSystemEventQueueImplPP(Unknown Source) at sun.awt.SunToolkit.getSystemEventQueueImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Toolkit.getEventQueue(Unknown Source) Looks the issues persist since 7u25. Tried the same with latest JRE i.e. 8u65 but the issues persist there too. JDK-8135232 looks similar and is unresolved in 8u45. Using SwingRmiHelper.invokelater [1] instead of SwingUtilities.invokelater didn't help. [1] http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u51-relnotes-2085002.html Area: deploy/webstart Synopsis: Webstart applications that use RMI with SwingUtlities.invokeLater or invokeAndWait throw an NPE.
