tried creating an EAR project and including the EJB project and the two util projects and deployed that get essentially the same problem - somehow the EJB project cant see the util project its dependent upon (its still on the build path and the pakaage referenences lists though from the EJB project) off to bed - if any one can help me past this problemo i'd be ever so greatful. I can't carry on building all the logic in one project it'll get ridiculous. anonymous wrote : | 01:27:17,589 WARN [ServiceController] Problem creating service
