Ok, I downloaded another version using the JEMS installer and this config file was fine. Vladimir - I've installed several version of JBOSS and it's possible that I was using an "all" installation rather than the "ejb3" install. Good news, I can deploy my EJB3 annotated session beans and view them from the JMX console, however the EJB3 entity bean is not registered in JMX. I noticed that the EJBContainer throws a log message after deploying a bean.. ""10:26:54,318 INFO [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: ......" and that this message appears for my sessions beans, but not for my entity bean. | 10:26:51,766 INFO [Ejb3Configuration] found EJB3 Entity bean: com.asdf.rightnow.RightnowRegistration | 10:26:51,785 WARN [Ejb3Configuration] Persistence provider caller does not implements the EJB3 spec correctly.
