I'm deploying a J2EE 1.4 application on Apache Geronimo 2.0-SNAPSHOT. This application is not up to JEE 5 standards yet (i.e. it uses deployment descriptors instead of annotations). I am getting some errors during the resolution of EJB references. I have my EJB references defined in the ejb-jar.xml, but I'm getting a strange error during execution:
15:46:49,877 WARN [EjbFactory] Unable to lookup up EJB by reference name 'ejb/common/SequenceGenerator'; you must define the EJB reference javax.naming.NamingException: Could not look up : ejb/common/SequenceGenerator [Root exception is java.lang.NullPointerException] at org.apache.xbean.naming.context.ContextUtil.resolve( ContextUtil.java:65) at org.apache.xbean.naming.context.AbstractContext.lookup( AbstractContext.java:112) at org.apache.xbean.naming.context.AbstractContext.lookup( AbstractContext.java:611) at org.apache.xbean.naming.context.AbstractContext.lookup( AbstractContext.java:152) at org.apache.xbean.naming.context.AbstractContext.lookup( AbstractContext.java:611) at org.apache.xbean.naming.context.AbstractContext.lookup( AbstractContext.java:152) at org.apache.xbean.naming.context.AbstractContext.lookup( AbstractContext.java:597) at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:351) ..... at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke( StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve.invoke( AccessLogValve.java:563) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service( CoyoteAdapter.java:261) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process( Http11Processor.java:844) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process( Http11Protocol.java:581) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run( JIoEndpoint.java:447) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.naming.IntraVmJndiReference.getObject( IntraVmJndiReference.java:38) at org.apache.openejb.core.ivm.naming.Reference.getContent( Reference.java:40) at org.apache.xbean.naming.context.ContextUtil.resolve( ContextUtil.java:61) ... 50 more It seems that the "containerSystem" variable in IntraVmJndiReference is null. Does anybody know if this is an incomplete feature, or what the problem could be?
