I found out after debugging that there are different projects like EJB 3.0 and Embedded.The embedded is pretty match dead.I have configured the ejb 3.0 embedded and works like a charm.I have also a fix in the EJB3StandaloneBootstrap.java to be more flexible in the way you define configuration files.Hope they will resurrect sometime soon the embedded jboss project.!!
