NullPointerException when invoking create() on LocalHome

[loemming]

Hi,

I have created an Entity Bean and am trying to access it through the localhome interface. When I invoke the create() method I get the following Exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.LocalHomeProxy.invoke(LocalHomeProxy.java:110)
at $Proxy0.create(Unknown Source)
at de.loemming.onlineshop.customer.Tester.main(Tester.java:27)
Exception in thread "main"

I am using Jboss 3.2.3. Can anyone help me and point me to my mistake ?

Thanks.
Philipp

Here my Test code:
try {
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Object objHome = ic.lookup(CustomerLocalHome.JNDI_NAME);
CustomerLocalHome cHome = (CustomerLocalHome) objHome;
CustomerLocal customer = cHome.create(new Integer(12));
} catch (NamingException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (CreateException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

Judging by the stack you pasted.. It looks like you are trying to envoke your local home via a separate Java app (different heap). You should only be able to refference a local home from within the same heap (i.e.: from the same JBoss instance).
