I have a small seam app and when I deploy it I get: at $Proxy99.retainIfException(Unknown Source) at org.jboss.ejb3.stateful.StatefulRemoveFactory.createPerJoinpoint(StatefulRemoveFactory.java:56) at org.jboss.aop.advice.AspectFactoryDelegator.createPerJoinpoint(AspectFactoryDelegator.java:119) at org.jboss.aop.advice.ScopedInterceptorFactory.create(ScopedInterceptorFactory.java:113) at org.jboss.aop.Advisor.createInterceptorChain(Advisor.java:646) at org.jboss.aop.Advisor.pointcutResolved(Advisor.java:916) ...... And --- MBeans waiting for other MBeans --- ObjectName: jboss.j2ee:ear=Farmers_POC.ear,jar=jboss-seam.jar,name=TransactionListener,service=EJB3 State: FAILED Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException The app works. I ust don't know what this is saying or how to get rid of it to get a clean deployment. Thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4016534#...
