Alfresco Transform Router 2.1.1 - NullPointerException

[nicolasalvarezc]

We've encountered an issue with the Alfresco Transform Router service after updating from version 2.0.0 to 2.1.1, despite having our Alfresco enterprise edition properly configured and running smoothly since inception.

Despite exhaustive efforts from various angles, the persisting issue emerges during container startup, hindering successful health checks and communication with other services (Tengines). Any guidance on analyzing or initiating a review of this isolated case would be greatly appreciated, as it appears distinct from the established stability of our long-standing Alfresco Stack.
