Hi Just got my first bean deployed in JBoss but Im having difficulty trying to talk to it from one of my java test classes.... Here's what Im trying to do.... Oh I should point out im new to all this stuff so apologies if its really simple... try { | ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("/applicationContext.xml"); | | service = (TokenManagementService) ctx | .getBean("tokenManagementService"); | | } catch (BeansException e) { | e.printStackTrace(); | throw new BusinessLogicException(e.getMessage()); | } My applicationContext.xml looks like this.... <bean id="token" class="org.springframework.ejb.access.LocalStatelessSessionProxyFactoryBean"> | | <property name="jndiName"> | <value>ejb/tokenManagementService</value> | </property> | | <property name="resourceRef"> | <value>true</value> | </property> | | <property name="businessInterface"> | <value> | aero.sita.gsl.bio.services.backEnd.tokenManagement.ITokenManagement | </value> | </property> | | </bean> And this is the error that's spewing out.... 27-Jul-2009 14:35:52 org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext prepareRefresh | INFO: Refreshing
