Hi, you should take a look at the warnings which appear on deploy: anonymous wrote : 1) | 06:09:25,956 WARN [Ejb3AnnotationHandler] JBMETA-4: did not find any bean meta data for annotation bean HotelTestBean, will create some | | 2) | 06:09:27,485 WARN [WebServiceDeployerEJB] Ingore ejb deployment with null classname: org.jboss.metadata.ejb.jboss.JBossSessionBeanMetaData@8fd19516{HotelTestBean} | It seems something is wrong with your deployment, but I don't see what. Please describe the structure of your ejb JAR file (which files are in which path). You might post the output of "jar tvf insertJarNameHere.jar". Do you find your beans in JNDIView (see: http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/DisplayTheJDNITreeWithTheJMXConsole ).
