Error description

  • Rational Application Developer V7.0.0.8 EJB Deployment Descripto
r Editor:  EJB 1.1 cmp Access Intent 'Combine' button fails with
 NullPointerException

which shows in the workspace .log file:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
 at com.ibm.etools.ejb.ui.operations.EjbCombineAccessIntentOpera
tion.gatherParentObjects(Unknown Source)
..


This button dates back to WSAD v5.1.2 or earlier (also broken in
 last WSAD v5.1.2 update)
It is believed to have been used to combine the old style (possi
bly back to WAS v4.0) multiple access intent elements  for each
ejb11 cmp bean method in ibm-ejb-jar-ext.xmi,
to the current structure in which one Access intent element has
all the cmp methods.
