I get the following error when I try to deploy in SAPNW Sneak Preview:

At least one of the Deployments failed -

My application has a clean build throughout & I have checked the user/passwd in the configTool & they look OK.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Solved!

I had a project which was just a holding area for libraries & didn’t actually have any source code. I wondered if that was causing the null pointer exception, so I moved the libraries into another project & removed the first project. I can now deploy without the null pointer exception!

Further information:

There are 4 Web modules (ngenWeb, ngenReports, ngenDBUnitWeb & ngenJUnitEE) & one EJB module (ngenEJB). I can successfully deploy ngenWeb, ngenReports, and ngenDBUnitWeb on there own. However, as soon as I combine them with any other module(s) I get the null pointer exception. In addition, I try ngenEJB on its own I get the same null pointer exception & if I try ngenJUnitEE, I get the message included at the end of this message. NB: When I first tried to do the EJB project on its own I did get some errors because I had primary key queries manually defined on two beans. I removed them & the old error returned.

Error from ngenJUnitEE:
