I have started Weblogic Server 8.1 sp4 on the JFluid JVM 1.4.5 deliverred with
the Profiler M8v3-win. I have deployed session stateful EJB and an
nullPointerException occurs while profilling.
This exception does not apper while running WLS on the SUN jdk1.4.2_05
deliverred together with WLS.

The code (impacted method of the EJB):
	public String firstMethod(String name) {
		
		System.out.println("Simple version5 here. Name:" + names);

		System.out.println("Got name:" + name + ".");
		if ("".compareTo(name.trim()) == 0 || name == null) {
			names = new String();
		} else {
			if (names.length() == 0)
				names = name;
			else
				names += " and " + name;

		}

		return names;

	}

Exception apperared:

Very last line of the code where is exception reported:

ikvc.server.SimpleFascadeImpl.firstMethod(SimpleFascadeImpl.java:30)

is this line:

return names;
