EJB java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/EntityManager

[squarcio]

Hello to all,

I'm new to javaEE and JBoss AS and i'm trying to learn developing EJB applications but i have a problem i don't know how to solve.

I use NetBeans 7.3 and JBoss AS 7.1.1.

I have been created an EJB 3.1 module with an entity bean and a session bean with remote interface that performs the database operations using the entity bean.

After i have been created a java application to access the EJB module:

1. inside the library of the project i put the jboss-client.jar and the EJB module.jar files
2. i have been created a config package with the jboss-ejb-client.properties file
3. i lookup the bean with the method :
   

public static ControllerPrenotazioniRemote lookupRemoteControllerPrenotazioni() throws NamingException {

        final Hashtable jndiProperties = new Hashtable();

        jndiProperties.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming");

        final Context context = new InitialContext(jndiProperties);

        final String appName = "";

        final String moduleName = "EJBModule1";

        final String distinctName = "";

        final String beanName = ControllerPrenotazioni.class.getSimpleName();

        final String viewClassName = ControllerPrenotazioniRemote.class.getName();

        System.out.println("Looking EJB via JNDI ");

        System.out.println("ejb:" + appName + "/" + moduleName + "/" + distinctName + "/" + beanName + "!" + viewClassName);

        return (ControllerPrenotazioniRemote) context.lookup("ejb:/EJBModule1/ControllerPrenotazioni!"

                + ControllerPrenotazioniRemote.class.getName() + "?stateful");

    }

I deploy the EJB module less problems,but when i try to run the java application i see thi error in the output tab of NetBeans:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/EntityManager

I do not know where I'm wrong!Someone can help me to solve this problem?
