NullPointerException during deployment

[Francisco Borges <fr...@x-hive.com>]

Hello,

I can already run this sample application under Geronimo2.0, but I can't 
deploy my unittests.

The only difference (I can think of) between the deployment of the sample 
with the Unittests is that in the later I deploy 3 beans instead of 1.

The error I get is this:

-------------------------------------------------------------
INFO  [DirectoryHotDeployer] Deploying unittests.jar
INFO  [OpenEJB] Auto-deploying ejb BeanManagedTransactionBean: 
EjbDeployment(deployment-id=Unittests/BeanManagedTransactionBean, 
container-id=null)
INFO  [OpenEJB] Auto-deploying ejb ContainerManagedTransactionBean: 
EjbDeployment(deployment-id=Unittests/ContainerManagedTransactionBean, 
container-id=null)
INFO  [OpenEJB] Auto-deploying ejb NonManagedTransactionBean: 
EjbDeployment(deployment-id=Unittests/NonManagedTransactionBean, 
container-id=null)
[Deployer] Deployment failed due to
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.openejb.config.EjbJarInfoBuilder.getMethodInfo(EjbJarInfoBuilder.java:404)
        at 
org.apache.openejb.config.EjbJarInfoBuilder.getMethodInfos(EjbJarInfoBuilder.java:391)
        at 
org.apache.openejb.config.EjbJarInfoBuilder.initMethodTransactions(EjbJarInfoBuilder.java:306)
-------------------------------------------------------------

Note that the last part (from [Deployer]) is repeated for every bean.

The error seems to be caused by line 401 by the call to:
"ejbds.get(method.getEjbName())"

org.apache.openejb.config.EjbJarInfoBuilder.getMethodInfo(EjbJarInfoBuilder.java)
=======
 private MethodInfo getMethodInfo(Method method, Map ejbds) {
        MethodInfo methodInfo = new MethodInfo();

        EjbDeployment d = (EjbDeployment) ejbds.get(method.getEjbName());

        methodInfo.description = method.getDescription();
        methodInfo.ejbDeploymentId = d.getDeploymentId();
========
 
An identical file (appart from xml namespaces) runs perfectly under 
Geronimo1.2.... So once again, I am puzzled....

Any ideas? Suggestions?

For the record, after I included all EJBs in the assembly-descriptor this 
problem went away (not all of them are container managed so...).

I thought this was a regression on this Bug from Geronimo1.0 (where you 
would get a NullPointerException when the assembly descriptor was 
missing) but later I could not reproduce the error. I can only assume, 
that it was something wrong being set to a particular state, which was 
being preserved despite restarting the server.
