[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (EJBTHREE-933) NPE when deploying web service beans

[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-933?page=comments#action_12391035 ] Andr￩ Pastore commented on EJBTHREE-933: ---------------------------------------- Hi! I'm having this NullPointerException when I deploy my application at first time, in a same instance of AS. With the following technologies: JBoss AS 4.0.5GA EJB 3.0 I'm deploying a EAR with the follow structure: application.ear lib/<my-application-lib>* META-INF/application.xml META-INF/jboss-app.xml service-ejb.jar service-ejb.jar/META-INF/jboss.xml service-ejb.jar/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml service-ejb.jar/<ejb-classes> service-web.war The EJB name declaration, registration of Local and remote interfaces are configured by Annotations. as follow: /* MyServiceEjb.class */ @Stateless(name = "myEjbName") @Remote(MyRemoteInterface.class) @Local(MyLocalInterface.class) public class MyServiceEjb implements MyRemoteInterface, MyLocalInterface { /**--ejb class implementation--*/ } /*MyRemoteInterface.class*/ @Remote public class MyRemoteInterface { /**--ejb remote interface--*/ } /*MyLocalInterface.class*/ @Local public class MyLocalInterface { /**--ejb local interface--*/ } /*jboss.xml*/ <jboss xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss_5_0.xsd" version="3.0"> <enterprise-beans> <session> <ejb-name>myEjbName</ejb-name> <jndi-name> myEjbName/remote </jndi-name> <local-jndi-name> myEjbName/local </local-jndi-name> </session> <enterprise-beans> </jboss> Then, when I deploy my application.ear, at the first time, the follow LOG (trace) was generated: #

When debugging, the class with the assign interface "javax.ejb.Remote" was compared with "javax.ejb.Remote", but the response was false. Then, method return null att line 347, because "remotes" list is empty. My actual work (workaround) to use this EAR structure, is follow: 1. Start JBoss; 2. Deploy application.ear once; 3. After all fail deployment messages, redeploy the application with a diferent file, to generate a hot-deploy, or execute the redeploy manually. 4. All work fine. This works, because in the second time, in the LINE 326 populates the 'Remote ri' reference variable. This is my case using EJB3. This problem persists in version jbossas-4.2.2 and jbossas-5.0.0.Beta2 []'s, André Pastore -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
