    JBoss/(Entity Bean Beginner Question

    ___martin___

      hello

      I'm trying to deploy a simple entity bean that uses cmp and models a customer. Therefore I've written a CustomerBean, a CustomerRemote, CustomerHomeRemote. In addition I've also made CustomerLocal and CustomerHomeLocal interfaces (later the customer shall maintain a cmp-relationship with an address entity bean). All files compile without errors.

      I also wrote the ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml files.

      After packaging and copying the customer.jar to JBoss' deploy directory, the Bean seams to be deployed correctly but after trying to test the bean with a client, I get an error message.

      JBoss output after deployment:

      15:02:50,311 INFO [MainDeployer] Starting deployment of package: file:/usr/local/jboss-3.2.3/server/default/deploy/customer.jar
      15:02:50,316 INFO [MainDeployer] Deployed package: file:/usr/local/jboss-3.2.3/server/default/deploy/customer.jar

      Error Message of CustomerClient_1:

      javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory. Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory

      If I use the example files 04_1 of o'reillys ejb workbook, which I used as blueprints, the deployment works fine.

      I apologize for inserting all files and the error message, but it may be helpful for giving me a hint.

          Hi,

          sorry for bothering you with this question. I have found the error.
          I learn according to the book Enterprise JavaBeans 3rd Ed. I put the META-INF dir as said in the book and the picture on page 99 - which was an error.

          The book seems to have a few printing errors, but I discovered an errata at O'Reilly's homepage.

          Having it a couple of days earlier would have saved me a lot of time.

          cya,
          martin

          ps: sorry for spelling and/or grammar mistakes.
          pps: further questions are surely up-coming. sorry.
