Nullpointer when deploying simple JCA

[deegs_ca]

Hi,

I've put together a very basic jca resource adapter and the service.xml file to go with it under jboss3.0 (i.e. jboss3.0.0, the latest, not a snapshot)

When the RARDeployment attempts to bind my connection factory in jndi it's throwing a null pointer exception.

I've included my meta files below. Any help is much appreciated...

I can't really tell what jboss version you are using -- latest for me is cvs head, which is 3.1 -- however I suspect you might not have implemented Referenceable properly in your ConnectionFactory. Look in the code where the npe comes from.

A very good and correct guess. Thanks, everything is hunky dory now.
