Strange exception when deploying BC4J as EJB in 8i CORBA.BAD_PARAM: null Strings are

Question

I am trying to deploy BC4J as Ejb to 8i (8.1.6). I use the following deployment method with j: my Jdev root.
setjboenv j: ejb8i
loadjava - u user/passwd@host:port:sid - thin -v - r grant "SYS,PUBLIC" j:lib\xmlparserv2.jar
loadjava - u user/passwd@host:port:sid - thin -v - r grant "SYS,PUBLIC" j:lib\jbomt.zip
loadjava - u user/passwd@host:port:sid - thin -v - r grant "SYS,PUBLIC" j:lib\jboejb.jarI then create a deployment profile for ejb 8i with the ide. (Without deploying)
I then use loadjava outside the IDE to deploy the 2 jar files created
MyProject1CommonEJB.jar
and
Myproject1.jar
I then use the ide again to deploy the bean profile
Package1ModuleServerEJB.prf
The last step fails with the error :
Publishing EJBHome...org.omg.CORBA.BAD_PARAM: null Strings are illegal in IIOP. Please correct your application or run the ORB in backward compatibility mode. minor code: 0 completed: No
void oracle.aurora.ejb.deployment.GenerateEjb.invoke()
void oracle.aurora.server.tools.sess_iiop.ToolImpl.invoke(java.lang.String[], java.io.InputStream, java.io.PrintStream, java.io.PrintStream)
void oracle.aurora.ejb.deployment.GenerateEjb.main(java.lang.String[])
Exception in thread main
Strangely, when I test this EJB with the tester (middle tier = remote ejb) it works, but from JSP's I get an application error : "Unknown Exception"
I am using Jdev 3.1
Also using the deploy option when creating the deployment profile fails apparantly due to the missing grant "SYS,PUBLIC" when loading classes to the database before deploying the bean.
What can be done ?
null

Hi Blaise
Thanks for the reply. I have tried to do the complete deployment from within Jdev, but now I get the following error right at the end of the deployment.
/BC4J1AppModuleEjb/EjbObject_RemoteBC4J1AppModuleEjb:ORA-29535: source requires recompilationjava.lang.NullPointerException at sun.tools.java.Environment.error(Environment.java) at sun.tools.java.Environment.error(Environment.java) at sun.tools.java.Environment.error(Environment.java) ..... etc.
I have tried to deploy to a clean schema with the java privilages granted as described in the Jdev release notes.
I included the following libraries in my project :
JBO JDBC816 PATCH
JBO OSQL Domains
JDeveloper Runtime
Oracle 8.1.6 JDBC
Connection Manager
JBO Runtime
JBO VB Runtime
JBO 8i Runtime
SQLJ Runtime
JBO 8i Client
JBO Vanilla Domains
JBO EJB Runtime
JServer
Oracle XML SQL Utility
ORACLE XML Parser 2.0
Then I just used the deployment wizzard
null
