JBoss 3.23 CMP and ant ejbjar task

[ppaulakh]

I am getting a Nullpointer exception when I try to use the ant ejbjar task on a CMP 2.0 bean. I've included the relevant parts of the code. I've never used the ejb-jar task before, I've always used the jar task. It seems that the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml is getting linked in just fine, but it is dying on the parsing due to the DTD. It is well-formed XML, I included it but snipped the cmp fields for clarity.
I'm trying to use the generic task that builds all our session EJBs. Thanks for any help,
-P
