[Glassfish 3] Deployment fails on a NullPointerException.

Hello!

I am currently attempting to convert a JEE 5 running on JBoss 5 to Glassfish v3.
The ear is somewhat big (7.3 MB): it contains many EJB components, maybe 30.

The deployment under Glassfish v3 (I have the last stable versions) ends on a NullPointerException.

Of course, I may guess that my ear file suffer a trouble or two, as it is my first try to deploy it on Glassfish after having sustituted JBoss jar files with Glassfish jar files, but I think Glassfish shall not terminate a deployment this way.

Is it a bug?
Or myself, shall I look after something especially on my ear file that could cause this issue?

Regards,

Grunt.
