I have a User class that performs a number of Authentication
and user maintenace functions using LDAP to our Corporate Directory,
with the javax.naming.directory package.
This all works fine and is used by folks from their JSP pages etc
under Tomcat V3.2.
I have a Session Bean that I'd like to use this User class from.
There is a authenticate() and a getUser() method, the getUser()
as you can imagine returns an instance of the above User class.
When I compile the code as part of the EJB all is fine, if I use
the .jar (after moving it into orion/lib/) file then I always get
the following
500 Internal Server Error

the attribute LdapCtx is of type
private javax.naming.directory.DirContext
Any thoughts of who, what, where, why is going here???
Many thanx
Scott.
