Relative URI

[div_]

I am new to Jboss and, I am attempting to deploy a simple application (jar file) per instructions on this website: http://users.pandora.be/bert.torfs/j2ee.pdf

after moving the jar file to this folder: C:\jboss-3.0.4_tomcat-4.1.12\server\default\deploy; I receive the following errors:

Relative URI ""; can not be resolved without a base URI.:-1:2
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Relative URI ""; can not be resolved without a base URI.
at org.apache.crimson.parser.Parser2.fatal(Parser2.java:3182)
I am using the Eclipse IDE with the integrated Tomcat/Jboss plugins. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

this is an XML parser problem, there's something wrong with the deployment descriptor files (could be a charset problem, could be any number of other XML related problems)

Yes, I gathered that. Here are the xml files, any ideas?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE jboss PUBLIC "-//JBoss//DTD JBOSS 3.0//EN"
"http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_3_0.dtd">

<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>HelloWorldServer</ejb-name><!--Matches ejb-jar.xml -->
<jndi-name>ejb/HelloServer?</jndi-name>

</enterprise-beans>


=========================================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE root PUBLIC "" "">

<ejb-jar>
< enterprise-beans>
<!-- Session Beans -->

helloWorld Session bean example.
<display-name>HelloWorldServerDisplayName</display-name>
<ejb-name>HelloWorldServer</ejb-name> <!--Matches with Jboss.xml -->
org.mikesmall.tutorialserver.HelloServerHome
org.mikesmall.tutorialserver.HelloServer
<ejb-class>org.mikesmall.tutorialserver.HelloServerBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>

</enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>

<!DOCTYPE root PUBLIC "" ""> is wrong

use <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 2.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd"> instead

Thank you so much that did the trick! Guess I need to get my XML book out :)
