SSLConnectionHelper NullPointerException using FeedbackServiceManager about javapns HOT 10 CLOSED

In log4j enable debugging, this should give more info...
as per: 
http://code.google.com/p/javapns/wiki/Tips

Does it work with the test code:
http://code.google.com/p/javapns/wiki/WorkingFeedbackExample

How are you passing your certificate to the feedbackManager?

I have enabled the log4j debugging and I have set the JVM argument as well.

Yes, the WorkingFeedbackExample works for me. I am passing certificate to the 
to feedback manager the same way as the WorkingFeedbackExample.

Here is the debug line from log4j just before the exception:

[#|2010-12-26T16:04:00.022-0700|INFO|oracle-glassfish3.0.1|javax.enterprise.syst
em.std.com.sun.enterprise.v3.services.impl|_ThreadID=29;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|16

[/Users/gregpearman/Documents/LiquidMedia/MobileDev/Keys/PushCertificate.p12]/[P
KCS12]
|#]

I have also verified that the password is being passed and it is the correct 
value.

The second time the feedback manager is called (I'm using the JBoss SEAM Quartz 
integration to schedule the feedback callout), I get this error:

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class 
javapns.back.SSLConnectionHelper
    at javapns.back.FeedbackServiceManager.getDevices(Unknown Source)
    at me.loyal2.service.apns.FeedbackService.refreshIphones(FeedbackService.java:84)
    ... 53 more

I'm still not seeing what the issue is.

You say 'the second time the feedback manager is called'... so this runs fine 
the first time.. but not the 2nd+ time?

I wonder if there is an issue where the scheduler is trying to re-use the 
SSLConnectionHelper at which point the connection has dropped.

But it sounds like the issue has to do with the way the scheduler is calling 
the feedback function.

Actual. No, It fails all the time. It's just that the first time, it get the 
original NullPointerException and the second time it get's the 
NoClassDefFoundError.

Please send more of the debugging output

Attached is the section of the log files for where the feedback service is 
being invoked. Please let me know what else I can send to help with this issue.

As per:

The error would seem to indicate the JVM was unable to load the class. I 
vaguely recall that Glassfish using BouncyCastle...
and I wonder if there is a conflict.

Thank you for those links. I will investigate and see if any of the suggestions 
in them help resolve this issue and let you know.
