Hello everyone... i am totally new to Oracle.
i just created a portlet using JDeveloper. I was able to sucessfuly deploy it to my localhost using Standalone OC4J .. but what i am trying to do now is to deploy that ear file to OAS 10g 10.1.3 (release 3)
Deployment fails with this error: java.lang.NullPointerException
