  Workaround:
  
  It appears that ejbDeploy fails in this case due to the presence
  of the
  .svn folder created by Subversion/Subclipse inside the
  META-INF\Schema folder (that contains the backend).
  If you delete this .svn folder, then the deploy operation
  suceeds.
  

Local fix

• Workaround:

  of the
  .svn folder created by Subversion/Subclipse inside the

  If you delete this .svn folder, then the deploy operation

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All users of Rational Application            *
  *                 Developer and WebSphere Application Server   *
  *                 Toolkit EJB Deploy code generation tool      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: EJB Deploy code generation tool fails   *
  *                      when generating code against a 1.1      *
  *                      EJB and the Schema backend folder       *
  *                      contains any directories                *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a Schema backend folder contains a directory, such as
  'Test', then the EJB Deploy code generation tool will fail
  with the following error:
  
  java.lang.NullPointerException
  at
  com.ibm.ObjectQuery.crud.schema.QueryGenConfigInfo.reset(QueryGe
  nConfigInfo.java:206)
  at

  oreMap.java:791)
  at
  com.ibm.etools.ejbdeploy.plugin.EJBDeployOperation.generateQueri
  es(EJBDeployOperation.java:1883)
  
  This typically happens when using source control systems such
  as Subversion as it will create a .svn directory within the
  Schema directory.
  

Problem conclusion

• While looking for backend directory we will only look for the
  'Schema' directory in the META-INF EJB project when it
  contains EJB 1.1 modules.  The fix for this APAR is currently
  targeted for inclusion in Rational Application Developer
  fixpack v6.0.1.2 iFix 001, v7.0.0.6 and WebSphere Application
  Server Toolkit v6.1.1.6.  Please refer to the Recommended
  Updates page for WebSphere Application Server Toolkit delivery
