jaikiran, Yes, that worked. Terrific. Thank you so much. If I may suggest, though, leaving off the namespace from <ejb-jar> is not so weird. Lots of examples on the Web do that, and it used to work in JBoss 4. If your ejb-jar.xml is machine generated it'll probably have a namespace, but many hand-written ejb-jar.xml's may not. Perhaps some more informative warning message would be helpful? Just a suggestion. Regards, Richard. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4237764#...
