Description
Resolution: Description: ============ Business Events Engine throws the Null Pointer exception when using the concurrentwm property in 3.x or in 4.x, 5.x when Concurrent RTC flag is checked under Agent Classes tab > AgentClassName > Concurrent RTC
Symptoms: ========= BE Engine throws the following exception -

Cause: ===== This stack trace has been observed in following situations:
1). When the concept is getting deleted while the timeout is happening.
2). When using concurrentwm without proper locking.
Resolution: ========= Implement the proper locking when using concurrentwm or Concurrent RTC feature to avoid contention between different threads.
