JAR1 contains a SLSB which tries to use a SLSB from JAR2 which exposes a LocalBusiness Interface. SLSB from JAR1: {code} @Stateless @WebService public class AnaUniEJB implements AURemoteBusiness, AnaUniWebService {           @PersistenceContext(                               unitName = "AnaUniDb")           private EntityManager manager;           @EJB           private GVCCLocalBusiness gvcc; {code} SLSB from JAR2: {code} @Stateless public class GvccBean implements GVCCLocalBusiness { {code} I've noticed that when I start JBoss, I get the following message: {code} WARN  [org.jboss.deployment.MappedReferenceMetaDataResolverDeployer] (main) Unresolved references exist in JBossMetaData:[#AnaUniEJB:AnnotatedEJBReferenceMetaData{name=it.bz.prov.anauni.blogic.AnaUniEJB/gvcc,ejb-ref-type=null,link=null,ignore-dependecy=false,mapped/jndi-name=null,resolved-jndi-name=null,beanInterface=interface it.bz.gvcc.interfaces.GVCCLocalBusiness}] {code} and this NPE {code} ERROR [org.jboss.kernel.plugins.dependency.AbstractKernelController] (main) Error installing to Start: name=jboss.j2ee:jar=AnagraficaUnificata.jar,name=AnaUniEJB,service=EJB3 state=Create java.lang.NullPointerException{code} and finally {code} ERROR [org.jboss.system.server.profileservice.ProfileServiceBootstrap] (main) Failed to load profile: Summary of incomplete deployments (SEE PREVIOUS ERRORS FOR DETAILS): DEPLOYMENTS MISSING DEPENDENCIES:   Deployment "jboss.j2ee:jar=AnagraficaUnificata.jar,name=AnaUniEJB,service=EJB3_endpoint" is missing the following dependencies:     Dependency "jboss.j2ee:jar=AnagraficaUnificata.jar,name=AnaUniEJB,service=EJB3" (should be in state "Configured", but is actually in state "**ERROR**") DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR:   Deployment "jboss.j2ee:jar=AnagraficaUnificata.jar,name=AnaUniEJB,service=EJB3" is in error due to the following reason(s): java.lang.NullPointerException, **ERROR**{code} Where am I doing wrong?
