Error description
When using RAD 7- version 7.0.0.5 on Windows XP trying to define a mediation handler in the EJB deployment descriptor, the process fails with a NullPointerException. Below are the steps to reproduce - 1. Created a class implementing the MediationHandler interface in a java project 2. Created an EJB project and specified the above java project in the J2EE Module dependencies. 3. In the EJB deployment descriptor, selected the Mediation Handler tab and clicked "Add". 4. In the 'Define Mediation Handler' dialog, mentioned the name and selected the Handler class using the 'Browse' button. The first thing that seems to be wrong is that any properties on the handler class are not displayed in the parameters section. 5. Clicked on 'Finish' and got the error message - "An error has occurred when null finnished". Stack trace is below - org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Extended Operation failure: com.ibm.etools.sib.mediation.deploy.handler.operations.AddMediat ionHandl erOperation at

Problem conclusion
The NullPointerException was happening due to the way that the underlying JEM functionality was introspecting the mediation handler class - it was unable to find certain proprety types and caused the NullPointerException. The fix for this APAR is currently scheduled for inclusion in the Rational Application Developer v7.0.0.7 and WebSphere Application Server Toolkit v6.1.1.7 fixpacks.
