[JBoss-user] NullPointerException with Jetty's deployer when is set

[Barlow, Dustin]

I am running the tip version 3.2.0beta2 (did a cvs update about 2 hours
ago).  I am playing with the HttpSession clustering in Jetty.  I deployed my
test.ear file in the JBoss "all" target (I made a copy of the "all" target
and named it "cluster1").  I changed none of the default settings at all.
The test.ear file contains a test.war file.  The test.war file contains two
jsp pages (test.jsp and test2.jsp) and one class (UserInfo) that is used to
store http session data and implements Serialiable.

The ear file deploys and works just fine if I remove the <distributable> tag
from the web.xml file.  The ear file doesn't deploy when the <distributable>
tag is present because of NullPointerException.

Attached to this message is the server.log and the test.ear file that i'm
using for my tests.

The context is /test and the two files under that context are test.jsp and
test2.jsp.  Test.jsp creates the UserInfo bean scoped at the session level.
Test2.jsp displays the information in the UserInfo class. 

This behaviour occurs on both my W2K and Linux servers both of which are
running JDK 1.3.1_04-b2.

Thanks for any tips,

Dustin
