Null Pointer Exception when using finder method

[ccsdev]

Hi all! I'm currently deploying EJB's on Jboss. I'm testing them by creating a simple client. The problem is that when I try to use one of my finder methods it throws the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.LocalHomeProxy.invoke(LocalHomeProxy.java:110)
at $Proxy0.findByName(Unknown Source)
at Client.main(Client.java:27)

Does anybody know why this might occur?

I appreciate your help.

You cannot use a local interface outside
the jvm
