custom adaptor deployment exception

[johnkw]

I'm trying to get an adaptor working for a custom content database. I have implemented an API specific adaptor like JDBC with my own Connection implementation. I've used the Sun & FileProperties adaptors as examples.

I'm getting the following exception on deployment:

From the management console I also see the following exception with the ManagedConnectionFactory mbean attribute :

RuntimeMBeanException: RuntimeException in MBean when getting attribute 'ManagedConnectionFactory' Cause: java.lang.NullPointerException

Any ideas?

I've tried mucking around using a *-ds.xml and a *-service.xml to no avail.

I'm running version 3.2.0(200304110033).

[davidjencks]

My guess is that there is a problem with the packaging of your .rar. I think that the deployer can't find META-INF/ra.xml in it. (note case).

[wildwest59]

post your ra.xml as well as *-ds.xml, and we will
examine it.
