Got unchecked and undeclared exception which called by *** exception: java.lang.NullPointerException

背景：使用dubbo服务调用的时候，服务者端报Got unchecked and undeclared exception which called by xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx service: com.xxx.xxx.UserLoginService, method: Userlogin, exception: java.lang.NullPointerException: null, dubbo version: 2.5.3, current host: 127.0.0.1

详细异常堆栈如下:

分析：一开始看到dubbo服务端报的异常，没细看，还以为是服务挂了，上了dubbo-admin控制台确认了一波，消费者跟服务者都正常运行；细看了，异常堆栈里面报 java.lang.NullPointerException，明显是空指针异常，在异常堆栈里找到自己代码出的异常提示at com.xxx.service.aop.LogsAspect.initMDC(ReqAspect.java:72)，问题就出在这里，这里主要是切面里为每次请求进来添加一个全局的流水号，内如有一处有坑：

MDC.put(LOGCONFIG.TRACE_LOG_ID, traceLogId);这里使用的slf包是slf4j-api:1.7.5，有一个很致命的坑，这个版本的MDC的put进去的value值不能为null，不然会报 java.lang.NullPointerException，参考链接：https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=1078299&goto=1734728&#msg_1734728，

解决方法：把slf4j-api的依赖包升级为高版本，如：

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.26</version>
</dependency>
