Problem

When you select Prepare for deployment for an EJB project, you see "Error during generation of deployment code: null."

Symptom

The following NullPointerException is displayed:

Cause

The required mapping between the back-end database and the enterprise beans has not been defined.

Diagnosing The Problem

The following is an example (specific to DB2) of a file in which errors can occur in the WebSphere Integration Developer Problems view:
<Workspace>\<Project_Name>\ejbModule\META-INF\backends\DB2UDBNT_V82_1\Map.mapxmi

Resolving The Problem

Use one of the following approaches to map the enterprise beans to database tables. Note that you might need to redeploy the application after following the steps.
