Build Identifier:  20100218-160

I´m defining an aspect as 
    @AfterReturning(pointcut=INTERNAL_EXECUTION,returning="response")
 
being 

protected static final String INTERNAL_EXECUTION=
"execution" + "(* " + FACADE_EJB + ".internalRetrieve(..))" + " && args(ticket, ..)";

and being FACADE_EJB just a constant refering to the class name.

It generates

java.lang.NullPointerException

Compile error: NullPointerException thrown: null
