Hi ImaneA ,

Do you solve your problem ? I have the exact issue in my deploy.

Thanks

Hello Decio Junior,

Actually yes, I resolved my problem.

I'm developing an EJB 3.0 project. I'm using NWDS 7.2 and JDK 1.6 as I said.

The problem is that my server was using JDK 1.4 and that was the problem.

EJB 1.1 and 2.1 need ejb-jar.xml but EJB 3.0 use the annotations instead.

Check your server JDK Version. It should be JDK 1.5 or higher.

Something else that you should check, in your project properties :

In the Build PATH : Use JDK 1.5

In the Java Compiler : Set the java compiler compliance level to 1.6 and check use default compliance settings

Hope it would help.

If you need more explanations, I'm here

Good luck.
