To update the status of my little battle, I can't get the following JBoss example to work either: http://www.jboss.org/jbossejb3/docs/reference/build/reference/en/html/jbo... I note that the management reference in my code is: org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.* where the examples import org.jboss.annotation.ejb.* I can't find org.jboss.annotation.ejb.* in the JBoss file system (but this could well be operator error)... Currently I reference the following: server\default\lib\jboss-ejb3-ext-api.jar lib\jboss-j2se.jar Any direction would be VERY much appreciated.
