Hey there. I've been given a task to analyze the possibility of deploying EJB 2.1 along with EJB 3.0. I am trying to deploy Stateless session beans only... both 2.1 and 3.0. However, after installing EJB 3.0 RC9 Patch 1 on JBoss 4.0.5 GA I failed to deploy the application. Along other exceptions, when deploying the beans I get following exception from the EJB3Deployer: 13:59:59,273 WARN [ServiceController] Problem creating service jboss.j2ee:service=EJB3,module=test-ejb.jar java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: sk.test.IndexBean.create() at java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1581) at

does not contain the lifecycle create() method, which resides in IndexHome extends EJBHome. Any ideas why does this not work? Thanks. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3998528#...
