Trouble Shooting Deployment

[Sondra Colagrossi]

I am trying to deploy an ear file. When I get to the finish step documented on page 750 of redbook SG24-6195-00, WAS 5 System
Management and Configuration, the admin console catches an Null Pointer Exception. I drill down in the run time log and the error is
SRVE0026E: [Servlet Error]-[]: java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.ibm.ws.management.application.client.
BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBindingHelper.completeTask
(BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBindingHelper.java:131) at
Whenever I click one of the square boxed i's ( for example type of message, explanation or recommendation ) it gives a red letter message - Help is currently not available for the requested item.
Is this because I do not have the info center installed?
The log analyzer has information about this error.
Extended message documentation - Explanation: An error was encountered in the specified servlet.
User Response: Varies by reported cause.
So I come to BindJndiForEJBNonMessageBindingHelper as my best clue. I wonder if Non Message Binding Helper has a meaning to any one?

You could try ejbDeploy instead of the AAT or vice-versa. Then you could switch to wsadmin instead of the admin console to see what snafus on that path.

I believe my error was from a missing role-link in my security-role-ref.
