Error while closing command context: org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Job 22219 failed

Any idea what may be the cause of this?

I see a NPE on line 34 of org.activiti.engine.impl.pvm.runtime.AtomicOperationTransitionCreateScope. Looking at the code, it's (IMHO) nearly impossible for that to happen there, since the instance used is created a couple of lines above. Did you remove a bit from the stacktrace or is this the whole thing?

If it's the whole trace, it would be good to have the full process. I presume it's an asynchronous message-sending you're doing?
