I developped a web applicacion using JPA as persistence technology and spring-framework-3.0.0.M2 under jboss-5.0.0.CR1 and everything seems to work fine with no problem at all.
The problem comes when I try to deploy the war file to any of the later versions jboss-5.0.0.CR2, jboss-5.0.0.GA, jboss-5.0.1.GA. I always get a NullPointerException caused at deployment time. Here is the stack trace from version jboss-5.0.1.GA: 15:53:03,464 ERROR [TomcatDeployment] ENC setup failed java.lang.NullPointerException at

JPA web applications. Has anyone else experienced this case? Any suggestion? Many thanks.
