I have noticed several others using this forum with the same
problem, I am a little suprised that no one has posted the
solution yet ?

I installing JBoss3.2.2 but everytime I tried to deploy a CMP2.0
entity bean I got a MethodNotFoundError.

I then tried installing JBoss3.2.3. ( still the same )

I then tried configuring JBoss to use MySQL instead of the supplied
Hypersonic SQL database. ( still the same )

I downloaded the JBoss source and debuged the deployment, the problem
was comming from the EJBQL token parser.

I compiled the testsuite, in particular the cmp2-simple.jar as a good
CMP2.0 sample. ( still the same )

I deduced from this that there was not a problem with my code,
which in fact is what turned out to be the case !

bearing this in mind I tried different environments, the very last
thing I tried.....

The Jboss download page says: 'JBoss 3.2 and earlier will run on 1.3+ JVMs. JBoss 4.0 requires 1.4+ JVMs'

wholy smoke I should know better than to believe what I read and also
you would have thought I have lernt the lesson by now that Java is:

Write many times, run onece and not Write onece, run many times.

I can confirm that JBoss3.x will not run correctly on JVM1.3.1_02

Changing to JVM1.4 fixed my problem and no more NoSuchMethodError.

Hope this helps others.
