Hi I'm trying to use a local interface of an ejb3 in a Servlet and annotatig with @EJB won't work (jboss-4.2.2.GA) so I'm trying to inject the bean in java:comp/env/ via web.xml. But wen I try to use <ejb-local-ref> : <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5"> <display-name>Web Interface</display-name> ............................................. <ejb-local-ref> <ejb-ref-name>ejb/UserBean</ejb-ref-name> <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type> com.website.Statefull.UserBeanLocal </ejb-local-ref> </web-app> jboss complains: org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Failed to parse WEB-INF/web.xml; - nes ted throwable: (org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: expected one local-hom e tag) at org.jboss.web.AbstractWebContainer.parseMetaData(AbstractWebContainer .java:755) at org.jboss.web.AbstractWebContainer.init(AbstractWebContainer.java:356 ) So I'm guessing it's complaining about tag and it expects <local-home> tag (priori to ejb 3?). But I don't understand why, I set the id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5". Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
