I have just installed the JBoss 4.0.4GA AS with the EJB3 option and have been trying to deploy the beginning trail associated with it. Everything seems to be starting correctly, I can see the EJB3 MBean in the JMX console and there are no startup errors. However, when I drop the EJB3Trail.ear into the deploy directory the server throws the following error (see stack-trace) indicating that a class could not be found... I do have a few JVMs on my machine (I need to compile for a number of different applications), but I have associated the JAVA_HOME property with JDK 1.5.0 (which is required to start the EJB3 deployer service). I'm a bit at a loss where to look next... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
--Zack
