Hi,
I am using Jboss 3.0 and am trying to deploy BMP Entity Beans with local interfaces. My beans get accessed by Servlet via Java beans. The EJB's are in AhmedabadSaleEJB.jar and Servlets and Java beans are in AhmedabadSaleWEB.war. Both these jar files are deployed in AhmedabadSale.ear. I read in mail-archives that to deploy local interfaces you need to have code in one ear.

The error I am getting is as follows:

The error is in my deployment descriptors especially in either web.xml or jboss-web.xml. The code for web.xml is as follows:

<ejb-local-ref>
<![CDATA[A reference to the OfficeRentBean EJB]]>
<ejb-ref-name>local/OfficeRentBean</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<local-home>interfaces.OfficeRentHome</local-home>
interfaces.OfficeRent
<ejb-linl>AhmedabadSale.jar#OfficeRentBean</ejb-link>
</ejb-local-ref>

And corresponding jboss-web.xml code is:

<ejb-local-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>local/OfficeRentBean</ejb-ref-name>
<local-jndi-name>DatabaseViewOfficeRent</local-jndi-name>
</ejb-local-ref>

I have gone through this forum and read many solutions to this problem and I tried all but all failed. Can anybody please help.

Also there are no Xdoclet tags available for generating deployment descriptor code for local interfaces especially @jboss.ejb-local-ref tag is missing. Can any body shed light on this problem too.
