Hi,
Iam using Local Interfaces with JBoss3.0 alpha.

Iam getting the following error during deployment:

I have used the <local-home> and tags in ejb-jar,
also specified tags in <ejb-local-ref> and also changed to <local-jndi-name> in jboss.xml. Is there something more i should do to use local interfaces?!!


EJB-JAR.xml

...

<ejb-name>UserCMPEJB</ejb-name>
<local-home>com.core.persistence.user.UserHome</local-home>
com.core.persistence.user.User
<ejb-class>com.core.persistence.user.UserCMPBean</ejb-class>
<persistence-type>Container</persistence-type>
<prim-key-class>java.lang.Integer</prim-key-class>
False
<cmp-version>2.x</cmp-version>
<abstract-schema-name>UserCMPEJB</abstract-schema-name>
<cmp-field>
<field-name>userId</field-name>
</cmp-field>
<cmp-field>
<field-name>password</field-name>
</cmp-field>
<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>UserCMPEJB</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>com.core.persistence.user.UserHome</local-home>
com.core.persistence.user.User
<ejb-link>com.core.persistence.UserCMPBean</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>


....

JBOSS.xml

<ejb-name>UserCMPEJB</ejb-name>
<local-jndi-name>UserCMPEJB</local-jndi-name>
<configuration-name></configuration-name>


Do i have to specify <ejb-ref> if iam specifying <local-jndi-name> in jboss.xml? Am i missing something? Do let me know.
Thanks in advance!
