No , there are no exceptions when I start up the sever . I have packed an entity bean along with the stateless bean in a single jar . I didint get any error when there was a single stateless bean and I were to make a call also o it successfully , but since the time I have packed it with the entity bean I am unable to even deploy the ear. Do you have any pointers about it. Regards View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4060662#...
