Pedro,

The NullPointer exception is thrown when an aspect is specified in the type attribute of the meta-data element.  This has been fixed in the latest builds to provide an appropriate friendly message.

[kevinr]

 <meta-data type="demo2:facturaTECNO"property="demo2:DocumentID"/> ‍

For example, if the "demo2:facturaTECNO" type is infact an "aspect" then changing the config too:

 <meta-data aspect="demo2:facturaTECNO"property="demo2:DocumentID"/> ‍

Should fix the problem. FYI the error message has been improved in the 1.2 codeline!

Thanks,

Kevin
