hi there .. im running into a strange problem while deploying an
entity bean ..

these are my xdoclet tags:

* @ejb.finder
*   query = "SELECT object(o) FROM User o WHERE o.login=?1 AND
o.password=?2"
*   signature = "com.ikatomi.im.user.ejb.UserLocal
findByUsernameAndPassword(java.lang.String login,java.lang.String
password)"
*
* @jboss.query
*   query = "SELECT object(o) FROM User o WHERE o.login=?1 AND
o.password=?2"
*   signature = "com.ikatomi.im.user.ejb.UserLocal
findByUsernameAndPassword(java.lang.String login,java.lang.String
password)"
*/

and this is the error jboss is throwing ..

17:35:48,147 ERROR [EntityContainer] Starting failed

i have to add that i can use the findByPrimaryKey method without any
probems which means that i made a mistake in my finder method ...
but i dont know why it throws a NullPointerException
