[JBoss-dev] NPE in 3.2.2RC4

[Jason E. <jasone@GreenRiverComputing.com>]

I have an application that has deployed just fine on 3.2.2RC3 and on  
3.2.1 (OS X, java 1.4.1) but on RC4 when I attempt to deploy this same  
package I get the following stack trace. Every thing seems to be in  
order ejb wise, so where do I start hunting for this problem? looks  
like the container failed to get the column names for the table from  
PostgreSQL.

As a side note, this seems to be the last entity bean to be deployed  
from the package.

Any ideas on where to look for the solution would be appreciated.
