There appears to be a bug when re-deploying entity beans that use
indexes with Oracle as the datastore. The deploy bombs with a
NullPointerException. The problem is at line 394 of revision 1.50.2.1
of JDBCStartCommand.java.
if(idxAscDesc.get(i).equals("A"))
The ASC_OR_DESC column from DatabaseMetaData.getIndexInfo comes back
as null but that code assumes it has a value.
Bug report with full details on how to reproduce should be created here http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS
