NullPointerException (NPE) in FastDateFormat.getInstance(FastDateFormat.java:211)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LANG-429
URL:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-429 Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2
Environment: MS Windows XP (SP 2), Java 1.5.0 Update 11
Reporter: Kai Burjack
Sometimes (sadly this is not reproducible) the following method call results in a NullPointerException (NPE):
Stacktrace:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.apache.commons.lang.time.FastDateFormat.getInstance(FastDateFormat.java:211)
at org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateFormatUtils.format(DateFormatUtils.java:258)
at org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateFormatUtils.format(DateFormatUtils.java:232)
I don't know how this is actually possible, since the exception is being raised when accessing a static field 'cInstanceCache' that will be implicitly initialized...
Could this have something to do with class gc?
