First create a jar file containing your class files and a directory named "META-INF", containing the xml files ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. Then create the jar file you are trying to create. If you have any futher doubts, go to:

http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/intro/intro_ejb.html

Then find "Running the Emp Example" and go through the steps 1-10 in that.

Hope this helps,
Pushkar.

Hi,

C:\ejb\demo>javac DemoHome.java
DemoHome.java:22: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class Demo
location: interface ejb.demo.DemoHome
    Demo create() throws CreateException, RemoteException;
    ^
1 error

what is this error??? my current directory is in my classpath..

ThanX in adv.

did you compile Demo.java to Demo.class ?
it can't find Demo Interface.

try javac -classpath . *.java

good luck.
