      After I upgraded Wildfly 8.1.0 to 8.2.0 I began to notice thousands of NullPointerExceptions:

      ERROR [io.undertow.request] (default task-54) Undertow request failed HttpServerExchange{ POST /myapp/logout}: java.lang.NullPointerException

      I could trace to problem to POST methods that had no parameters (except @HttpHeaders) in the methods' signature. So, the problem does not occur anymore if I change the method signature from:

          @POST
          @Path( "/logout" )
          @Consumes( MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON )
          @Produces( MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON )
          public Response logout( @Context HttpHeaders hh ) {
             ...
          }
      

      to

          @POST
          @Path( "/logout" )
          @Consumes( MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON )
          @Produces( MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON )
          public Response logout(String ignore, @Context HttpHeaders hh ) {
             ...
          }
