Solutions

1. Do not set a null StatementInspector; omit the call or pass a valid inspector.

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown when a caller passes a null StatementInspector to the API guarded in JdbcSessionContextImpl.java:51.

Common situations: Typical situations: calling the method with an uninitialized variable; a lookup that returned null being passed straight through; missing null-checks in application code before invoking Hibernate.
