Are you sure this is what you have in the jboss.xml? I would have expected <ejb-name>ejb/userEntity</ejb-name> and not anonymous wrote : <ejb-name>ejb/userSession</ejb-name> Could you post the ejb-jar.xml and the jboss.xml that is being used (please use the Code button while posting to wrap the contents of these files in a code block - this will help in maintaing the xml tags) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4049438#...
