Looking at my previous version of the web.xml and comparing it to the seam-gen one I had and changed based on tutorials the format of the ejb-local-ref was different for this session bean. <ejb-local-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>ejb/GarageEntityBeanFacade</ejb-ref-name> | <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type> | <local-home/> | <local>com.myproject.ejb.entity.GarageEntityBeanFacadeLocal</local> | <ejb-link>FishermansWharf-ejb.jar#GarageEntityBeanFacade</ejb-link> | </ejb-local-ref> In addition the seam-gen web-app version tag for web.xml was set to 2.4 not 2.5 which is what I had previously had. I'm not sure if this made a difference or not but I was able to get it finally working after these changes. Thanks.
