My EAR application (containing three sar archives, a war archive and a jar archive) deploys and runs like a dream. However after I redeploy the ear, the application is broken. I get no errors on redeployment, but when I try to access the web part of the application I get the following error: 2006-08-09 11:20:16,352 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[jboss.web].[localhost].[/dmmapp].[jsp]] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception | java.lang.NullPointerException | at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.BaseLocalProxyFactory.invokeHome(BaseLocalProxyFactory.java:327) | at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.LocalHomeProxy.invoke(LocalHomeProxy.java:118) | at $Proxy2259.create(Unknown Source) | at com.netmill.dmmbase.bean.presentation.EmployeeBean.getEmployeeManager(EmployeeBean.java:778) | at com.netmill.dmmbase.bean.presentation.EmployeeBean.getEmployeeId(EmployeeBean.java:254) | at com.netmill.dmmbase.bean.presentation.WebSessionBean.getEmployeeId(WebSessionBean.java:376) | at com.netmill.dmmbase.bean.presentation.WebSessionBean.getEmployeeId(WebSessionBean.java:367) | at com.netmill.dmmbase.bean.presentation.WebSessionBean.getLanguage(WebSessionBean.java:459) | at org.apache.jsp.error.error500_jsp._jspService(org.apache.jsp.error.error500_jsp:106) | at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:97) | at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810) | at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:322) | at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:314) | at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:264) | at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:252) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.invoke(ApplicationDispatcher.java:672) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.processRequest(ApplicationDispatcher.java:465) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.doForward(ApplicationDispatcher.java:398) | at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher.forward(ApplicationDispatcher.java:301) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.custom(StandardHostValve.java:362) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.status(StandardHostValve.java:283) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.throwable(StandardHostValve.java:227) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:134) | at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:107) | at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:148) | at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:856) | at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11Protocol.java:744) | at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.processSocket(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:527) | at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.MasterSlaveWorkerThread.run(MasterSlaveWorkerThread.java:112) | at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Seems to me like I can no longer access the EJB beans for some reason.
