hi there ! i am trying to deploy a basic helloworld bean with orionserver but i get an unexpected error when deploying : Error loading package at file:/D:/Rodolphe/Bin/orion/orion1.3.8/orion/applications/internetsuite/helloworld-ejb.jar, Error parsing META-INF/ejb-jar.xml in D:\Rodolphe\Bin\orion\orion1.3.8\orion\applications\internetsuite/helloworld-ejb.jar: Fatal error at line 377: Character conversion error: "Unconvertible UTF-8 character beginning with 0x91" (line number may be too low). the bean has been sucessfully deployed with SUN's reference implementation J2EE. So i suspect the problem comes from orion ... I ve seen a POST about the same problem in the Mailing-List archive (11/10/2000) but there was no answer.... I can not see anything wrong in my META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file : <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 1.1//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/ejb-jar_1_1.dtd'> <ejb-jar> <description>HelloWorld</description> <display-name>HelloWorld</display-name> <enterprise-beans> <session> <description>HelloWorld</description> <display-name>HelloWorld</display-name> <ejb-name>HelloWorld</ejb-name> <home>com.genesys.is.helloworld.ejb.HelloWorldHome</home> <remote>com.genesys.is.helloworld.ejb.HelloWorld</remote> <ejb-class>com.genesys.is.helloworld.ejb.HelloWorldEJB</ejb-class> <session-type>Stateless</session-type> <transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type> </session> </enterprise-beans> </ejb-jar> The only noticeable difference with the ejb-jar.xml i ve looked at in the examples is the DOCTYPE : <!DOCTYPE ejb-jar PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Enterprise JavaBeans 1.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/ejb-jar_1_2.dtd"> i ve changed it cos this URL is not valid. Anyway, that does not resolve my problem whatever DOCTYPE URL i provide in my ejb-jar.xml .... I hope somebody helps.... otherwise, i'll have to forget about orion and go for an other one. thanks, rodolphe
