Spring roo 1.3.2 throws NullPointerException when deployed (war) -> ajc$interMethodDispatch1

Very similar to this 2011 unanswered post
It's very strange, when I run the application in eclipse (debugging or not) it works just fine. The problem comes when ever I try to use the application with a deployed the war.
I just execute perform package in roo shell. The same way as before, when it used to be fine.
Any ideas about how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Hope someone can help, I've tried everything I could imagine.
i.e.: Updated STS and Roo, cleaned the project, updated the mave project (maven/Update project), deleted all the ITD's so they get re-generated. In the server tired deleting the deployed war, then restarted apache and deployed the war again. Tried rebooting the server.
In any method that consumes a remote rest service, when running the app with a deployed war in the server, I always get a NPE. The stack is something like the following:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Can't debug the problem, since it works fine in eclipse.
Have "Pivotal tc Server Developer Edition (Runtime v3.1)" -> "tomcat-7.0.59.B.RELEASE" in eclipse and apache-tomcat-7.0.42 in the server. Not easy to upgrade the server now. Do you think it could fix the problem?
Not sure what information to add here...
I'm using 1.3.2.RELEASE [rev 8c2549b]
And here are some dependencies:
Edit 1
I've just realized the perform package gives this warnings... I doubt it has anything to do with my problem, but here it goes:

Forget this question.
The problem was the eclipse environment was using a different properties file than the tomcat application server that prevented the app to be able to connect to the remote Rest Service.
In fact the code didn't handle the null condition well enough.
To make it worse, the logging configuration also had a problem that prevented to show some error messages that could have pointed me in the right direction.
Sorry for your time. If I could have deleted this question, I would have.

Web application throwing java.net.SocketException for no obvious reason

The problem:
I have a Spring Boot web application deployed on a Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition Server. Every day in the morning I come across a java.net.SocketException and the server is in a blocked state. At this point of time I do not have a full stack trace because I was running it from a batch file and the console is limited to some number of lines I guess. I shall update the question with the full stack trace the next time this happens.
My research:
After going through Official reasons for "Software caused connection abort: socket write error" I am not able to figure out what exactly is closing the socket. Is MySQL responsible for closing the socket? Or is there a timeout setting which I missed out before the connection gets closed?
I am running MySQL Server bundled with WAMP. It appears fine most of the time this happens and when I re-run the batch file without making any sort of adjustments to WAMP also there are no problems.
Update
I have used the CrudRepository interface which comes with spring-boot-jpa to perform all database related operations and haven't messed with the default configurations provided by spring boot apart from configuring MySQL of course:
# MySQL configuration
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/belfcs
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Update 2
Since the answer to this question was posted, I was doing a bit of research and tried replicating the scenario on a different machine. I had setup a similar environment on a different machine and guess what, the same thing has happened again.
Then I tried running a custom script on the client side of my application so that a query is run every 15 minutes on the MySQL server. Doing so, I was able to stop the server from crashing. Now I really suspect that this IS a configuration issue. Do correct me if I'm wrong.
Update 3
On further investigation, I have tried to replicate the same stack trace by modifying the wait_timeout variable of MySQL to a very small value and I was successful but with a slight variation in the stacktrace.
It is now a Software cause connection abort: recv error.

After going through Official reasons for "Software caused connection abort: socket write error" I am not able to figure out what exactly is closing the socket.
If you had really gone through it you should have found my answer which makes it clear that nobody is closing the socket, whether improperly or otherwise. It is caused by a network condition, which causes the kernel to abort the connection. Nothing you can do about it in code or configuration. Get the sniffer out.

After much inspection I came to the conclusion that wait_timeout was indeed what's causing the connection to be aborted. But I was not able to remove wait_timeout altogether as it seems it is a bug reported here.
As of now, I have made a temporary workaround by running a Scheduler to keep the connection from timing out (just to be sure that the connection doesn't time out even when the server is left alone for an unexpectedly long amount of time).

java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE with Spring Social on Azure

I've a Spring App that uses Spring Social for Facebook integration. Everything is working fine on my Mac but on my stage server I got an exception that sounds like some kind of problem with my libraries version.
I've tried to play with version of Spring Social, Spring Social Facebook and Apache Http Client but with no luck.
What I see in tomcat log is:

The version of my components:
Tomcat 7.0.52 with Java 8 (but I also tried with Java 7)
Apache HTTP client 4.4 (and I've tried with 4.3.2 and 4.3)
Spring Social 1.1.0
Spring Social Facebook 1.1.0 (but I've tried also with 1.1.1)
The Tomcat 7 running on my stage is installed with apt-get and the VM is on Azure.
Any idea?

It seems you might have some dependency issues at runtime, since BasicLineFormatter INSTANCE field was added in version 4.3 of Apache HTTP library.
Check your application for supplied libraries and make sure no other component uses the older version of Apache HTTP.
It seems Spring Social uses the Apache HTTP lib in version 4.2.5
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.social/spring-social-core/1.1.0.M4.
It should be the cause of the issue here.
Could you clarify which version of Spring Social you use? Because there are differences based on if it is release or milestone version.

receive smtp error: javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: Invalid protocol: null

I am trying to set up JavaMail to read emails that have been received via smtp on a CentOS 7 server with postfix and mailx installed and functioning properly. I created a POJO named TestEmail.java that contains a method named read(). A Spring MVC controller instantiates TestEmail.java and calls the read.() method, but this call is throwing the following error:
javax.mail.NoSuchProviderException: Invalid protocol: null
I have read other postings about this error, including this one and this one. But the other postings relate to sending email. My error is related to reading received email. So this new post is different.
Here is the method that is throwing the error:
public void read(){
//lookup the java mail session
InitialContext ic;
try {
ic = new InitialContext();
String snName = "java:comp/env/mail/Session";
Session session = (Session)ic.lookup(snName);
//Get a Store object from the Session, then connect to the mail server using the Store object’s connect() method. You must supply a mail server name, a mail user name, and a password.
Store store = session.getStore();
store.connect("mail.smtp.host", "someuser", "somepassword");
//Get the default folder, then get the INBOX folder:
Folder folder = store.getDefaultFolder();
folder = folder.getFolder("INBOX");
//It is efficient to read the Message objects (which represent messages on the server) into an array:
Message[] messages = folder.getMessages();
int num_msgs = messages.length;
System.out.println("num_msgs is: "+num_msgs);
}
catch (NamingException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
catch (MessagingException me){me.printStackTrace();}
}
I added the following as the very last node in web.xml:
<resource-ref>
<description>
Resource reference to a factory for javax.mail.Session
instances that may be used for sending electronic mail
messages, preconfigured to connect to the appropriate
SMTP server.
</description>
<res-ref-name>
mail/Session
</res-ref-name>
<res-type>
javax.mail.Session
</res-type>
<res-auth>
Container
</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
And I added the following line to /opt/tomcat/conf/context.xml:
<Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container" type="javax.mail.Session" mail.smtp.host="localhost"/>
The line in the stack trace that refers to calling the read() method above is:

Its a permission error. If you have installed Tomcat 7 package on Ubuntu, check that /var/lib/tomcat7 is owned by tomcat7:tomcat7!!!
For other Linux distributions / Tomcat installation types:
Do:
ps -ef : grep "tomcat"
Find the tomcat processid
pwdx processid
Will output the tomcat process working folder
make sure it has write permissions for the user that tomcat runs as.
