I tried putting an entry for both "Dispatcher" and "SystemManager" in web.xml but still get the same error. I don't understand why a web.xml entry would be necessary since timers run in the EJB container but I tried it just the same. Does the ejb-local-ref definition for the Dispatcher look correct? I'm just guessing on that one in both web.xml and ejb-jar.xml. Here are the web.xml entries that I added: <ejb-local-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>mlm-ear-1.0/Dispatcher/local</ejb-ref-name> | <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type> | <local>org.jboss.seam.core.LocalDispatcher</local> | <ejb-link>Dispatcher</ejb-link> | </ejb-local-ref> | | <ejb-local-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>mlm-ear-1.0/SystemManagerBean/local</ejb-ref-name> | <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type> | <local>com.el.mlm.SystemManager</local> | <ejb-link>SystemManagerBean</ejb-link> | </ejb-local-ref> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4115593#...
