Getting error while calling ejb business methods from servlet

Question

Hi
Iam getting error when i try to call a ejb method from servlet.Error is
"com.netscape.server.eb.UncheckedException: unchecked exception nested exception is:java.lang.NullPointerException".
I build the application and deployed it successfully.Iam using IAS 6.O with windows NT 4.0.
This is just a method which takes values from database and return as an array of bean to servlet.
Any help on this.Thanks Shank

Hi
I was using the session bean.Your suggestion helped me a lot.Perfect.
I debug my program and found that from ejbCreate()exception is getting.
I was getting the datasource object thro ejb create() initialisation.
Somehow the look up jndi which i mentioned was not interpretting from ejb-jar.xml ias-ejb-jar.xml and datasource ref .Due to this iam getting jndi Namenotfound exception which in turns to null pointer as datasource is getting null.
when i hardcoded in the ejb the the jndi name for datasource it is working fine.Bit worried all the existing ejbs working with the xml referenced datasource and jndi,but when i added a new ejb with same properties it is failing to get the jndi name.
Piece of code from ias-ejb-jar.xml
<resource-ref>
          <res-ref-name>myDataSource</res-ref-name>
          <jndi-name>jdbc/nb/myData</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
Piece of code from ejb-jar.xml
<resource-ref>
          <res-ref-name>myDataSource</res-ref-name>
          <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
          <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
Thanks a lot meka
