building the 8.1_407 failed cause i'm using jdk1.6.
But i was able to apply and build the patch on 8.2devel.
The NPE is gone there.
The getBinaryStream() is called only once from my side.
The code for accessing the blob simply is:
...
InputStream is = blob.getBinaryStream();
XMLDecoder decoder = new XMLDecoder(is);
config = (ModuleProfile) decoder.readObject();
decoder.close();
...
(The blob is from a Hibernate data object).
