Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-3260:
-------------------------------------------

The discussion on DERBY-3024 may have some comments relevant to this issue. Do you have a repro that you can share with us? Does your stress test only execute a single statement, or is there some other background load (e.g., inserts, deletes, ddl)? I think it would be good if we could understand exactly what triggers the NPE. Then it's easier to see if this is the correct way to fix it.

> As you can see, the activation class returned by the ExecPreparedStatement is null as of line 271, even after having called a rePrepare(...) on the prepared statement  (line 260).  This is most likely due to a race condition.  Also note that the containing block was formerly synchronized, but has since been commented out.  From browsing the source in previous versions, the synchronized statement appears to have been commented out since before 10.0.2.1.  It appears the fix is to reintroduce the synchronized block, or at least make the block inside the if statement synchronized.
