veraz, I'm a newbie to jboss and I got exact same issues when starting jboss 4.2.2. Can you share a little more detail on how do you re-install from source? Do you mean you install it using the GUI installer.jar? I tried to download the jboss-4.2.2.src and then rebuild it but the naming services issues (NullPointerExceptions) are still there when I start my jboss 4.2.2. thanks, klein View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4108323#...
