Hi there ... experiencing some strange problems and would like to know if anyone run into this before. Im deploying a simple stateless and jboss throws a NullPointerException. The problem is, that this exception does not really help me in that moment. My configuration: I took the libraries used by the seam examples, wrapped them into maven, build them and deploy them. complete structure is equivalent to the ant builded ear. The exception: [org.jboss.seam.core.Events] Processing event:org.jboss.seam.postSetVariable.org.jboss.seam.core.locale.component 2007-04-10 16:29:45,598 INFO [org.jboss.seam.Component] Component: bookManager, scope: STATELESS, type: STATELESS_SESSION_BEAN, class: de.xxx.poc.seam.ejb.BookManagerStatelessBean, JNDI: seamsample/BookManagerStatelessBean/local 2007-04-10 16:29:45,600 DEBUG [org.jboss.mx.loading.RepositoryClassLoader] setRepository, repository=org.jboss.mx.loading.HeirarchicalLoaderRepository3@ca6f53, cl=org.jboss.mx.loading.HeirarchicalLoaderRepository3$CacheClassLoader@621bd7{ url=null ,addedOrder=0} 2007-04-10 16:29:45,601 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/seamsample]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.seam.util.Reflections.set(Reflections.java:65) at org.jboss.seam.util.Reflections.setAndWrap(Reflections.java:83) at org.jboss.seam.Component.initMembers(Component.java:593) at org.jboss.seam.Component.(Component.java:256) at org.jboss.seam.Component.(Component.java:207) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponent(Initialization.java:781) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.addComponents(Initialization.java:690) at org.jboss.seam.init.Initialization.init(Initialization.java:451) at org.jboss.seam.servlet.SeamListener.contextInitialized(SeamListener.java:33) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart(StandardContext.java:3763) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:4211) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChildInternal(ContainerBase.java:759) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.addChild(ContainerBase.java:739) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost.addChild(StandardHost.java:524) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) thanks in advance for your help View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4036016#...
