Can you attach a test app, preferably with source code?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying an Application Client Project on Eclipse Helios SR1. The app contains a mdb-bean.jar in its classpath that is
a mdb publish/subscribe and an ejb with a remote interface.
This is my code in the client,
private void test() {
try {
PublisherBeanRemote publisher = (PublisherBeanRemote) new InitialContext().lookup("java:global/mdb-bean/PublisherBean");
publisher.publishNews("TR", "ET#Hola TR...");
publisher.publishNews("ET", "TR#Hola ET...");
} catch (NamingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
being PublisherBean the implementation of the ejb.
And this is what I get when I run the app,
java.lang.NullPointerException

The only reason I guess is causing this exception is that the mdb-bean.jar is not in the classpath.
How can I be sure about it?
Thanks in advance,
Jose
