Hello to you all, this is a resend.... Can anyone tell me why I'm getting the following error when I try to deploy an Entity bean. [root@mcdonalds orion]# java -jar orion.jar Auto-deploying /usr/orion/application-deployments/HLR/HLR-ejb.jar (No previous deployment found)... Error compiling /usr/orion/application-deployments/HLR/HLR-ejb.jar: Variable contained illegal space Orion/1.5.2 initialized I have all the files in place in the jar file they are: [root@mcdonalds HLR]# jar tf HLR-ejb.jar META-INF/ META-INF/MANIFEST.MF ie/tcd/cs/dsg/HLR/Client_1.class ie/tcd/cs/dsg/HLR/HLRBean.class ie/tcd/cs/dsg/HLR/HLR.class ie/tcd/cs/dsg/HLR/HLRHome.class ie/tcd/cs/dsg/HLR/HLRPK.class META-INF/ejb-jar.xml I've already created a META-INF folder and put application.xml in to it.
