Must specify a nameField of type Text or AutoNumber

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a custom object with 3 custom fields but salesforce returns the exception below :

AxisFault
 faultCode: {http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata}UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION
 faultSubcode:
 faultString: null: Must specify a nameField of type Text or AutoNumber

here the code :
Code:
            CustomObject co = new CustomObject();
            String name = "SFTestObject";
            co.setFullName(name + "__c");
            co.setDeploymentStatus(DeploymentStatus.Deployed);
            co.setDescription("Created by the Metadata API");
            co.setEnableActivities(true);
            co.setLabel(name + " Object");
            co.setPluralLabel(co.getLabel() + "s");
            co.setSharingModel(SharingModel.ReadWrite);
            
            
           
            
            CustomField nf = new CustomField();
            nf.setType(FieldType.Text);
            nf.setLabel(co.getFullName() + "TEST1");
            CustomField nf1 = new CustomField();
            nf1.setType(FieldType.Text);
            nf1.setLabel(co.getFullName() + "TEST2");
            CustomField nf2 = new CustomField();
            nf2.setType(FieldType.Text);
            nf2.setLabel(co.getFullName() + "TEST3");
            CustomField[] fieldsArray = new CustomField[]{nf, nf1, nf2};
          
            co.setFields(fieldsArray);
            AsyncResult[] ars = metaBinding.create(new Metadata[] { co} );

 
What's the problem?
Cheers

Hi!
I've resolved.
Before you create the custom fields you have to create the custom object.

Bye!
