I am attaching both the console log that shows the exception and the ejb-jar.xml file. I tried both the Default and Standard configurations with the same outcome.  I also get the same result with JBossAS 5.1.0 and JBossWS metro 3.2.2. I have been able to deploy the same application to both WebSphere and WebLogic successfully. Any comments, ideas, or suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Octavio -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/565921#565921] Start a new discussion in EJB 3.0 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
