I am not sure if I understand you completely but it sounds like you forgot
you counter ref in your ejb-jar.xml.
Here is an example, I use the counter.jar in my user bean:
<enterprise-beans>
<entity>
<display-name>nl.unwired.sgs.um.User</display-name>
<ejb-name>nl.unwired.sgs.um.User</ejb-name>
<home>nl.unwired.sgs.um.UserHome</home>
<remote>nl.unwired.sgs.um.User</remote>
<ejb-class>nl.unwired.sgs.um.UserEJB</ejb-class>
<persistence-type>Container</persistence-type>
<prim-key-class>java.lang.Integer</prim-key-class>
<reentrant>False</reentrant>
<cmp-field><field-name>id</field-name></cmp-field>
<cmp-field><field-name>accId</field-name></cmp-field
...........
.......
<cmp-field><field-name>datTimUpd</field-name></cmp-field>
<primkey-field>id</primkey-field>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/Counter</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Entity</ejb-ref-type>
<home>com.evermind.ejb.CounterHome</home>
<remote>com.evermind.ejb.Counter</remote>
</ejb-ref>
</entity>
And don't forget to include the counter as an ejb module in your
application.xml!
Good luck,
Eddie
