Remote SLSB + JBoss 4.0.2 NullPointer Exception

[kyle_bober]

I am having an issue with obtaining a reference to a Remote SLSB using the org.springframework.ejb.access.SimpleRemoteStatele ssSessionProxyFactoryBean.

Everytime my Action class attempts to create an instance of the Proxy Bean I recieve a Null Pointer exception... When I use a MockObject in place of the Proxy Bean all works fine so the setup is correct and obtaining the Bean Container is not the issue. Also wondering if this could be an issue with the way JBoss's Class Loading is configured. Pretty sure it is setup to have a Class Loader for both the Servlet and EJB containers (Independent of each other) Included is the following code and XML ::

applicationContext.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans
PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN"
"http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd">

<beans>
<!-- Spring Proxy Beans to communicate to the EJB container -->
<bean id="userService" class="org.springframework.ejb.access.SimpleRemote StatelessSessionProxyFactoryBean" >
<property name="jndiName" value="ejb/session/User" />
<property name="businessInterface" value="com.kbcomputersolutions.movieapp.business.s ervices.UserService" />
</bean>

<bean id="addressService"
class="org.springframework.ejb.access.SimpleRemote StatelessSessionProxyFactoryBean" >
<property name="jndiName" value="ejb/session/Address" />
<property name="businessInterface" value="com.kbcomputersolutions.movieapp.business.s ervices.AddressService" />
</bean>


<!-- Spring Mock object beans to be used for testing -->
<!--
<bean id="userService" class="com.kbcomputersolutions.movieapp.business.m ock.MockUser" >
</bean>

<bean id="addressService"
class="com.kbcomputersolutions.movieapp.business.m ock.MockAddress" >
</bean>
-->
</beans>
