Messaging with EJB

[Saint-Martin Cécile <cs...@symetrx.com>]

We try to deploy an EJB as a SOAP message service and we have the following
error :

<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server.Exception:</faultcode>
<faultstring>java.lang.NullPointerException</faultstring>
<faultactor>/soap/servlet/messagerouter</faultactor>
<detail>

</SOAP-ENV:Fault>

and i think it's a bug in the apache code because MessageRouterServlet pass
to StatelessEJBProvider.locat a null call object, doesn't it?
