This method used to return null if search path has been set to null in releases prior to 1.2fcs.
However, this method now clones the search path which results in a NullPointerException.
This causes jck1.1.6a, jck1.2beta4 regression:
api/java_beans/Introspector/manual.html#SearchPath
The easiest way to fix this is to return null if searchPath is null:
    public static synchronized String[] getBeanInfoSearchPath() {
// Return a copy of the searchPath.
String result[] = new String[searchPath.length];
        // *** BEGIN FIX
        if (searchPath==null)
            return null;
        // *** END FIX
for (int i = 0; i < searchPath.length; i++) {
result[i] = searchPath[i];
}
return result;
    }
