Mule Error: ObjectNotFoundException Object " null" not found in container

This error is not a very descriptive message. What is actually happening in the mule app is that the UMO is attempting to be created, however, it is throwing an error during its creation. The UMO is never then added to the container and therefore cannot be found in the container.

In the example that I encountered this error message, the creation of the com.bamnetworks.reporting.DataReporter fails to be created, because of a misconfiguration in the database and the reporting config.
