Hi, this is one of the major changes between the EJB 1.0 and 1.1 spec. See there for details. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ALLEN FOGLESON [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Dienstag, 21.

I am used to having to write a DD either in text or as a java serialized DD. (xx.ser) I think I am actually almost getting orion now, after being used to using weblogics gui deployment tools. :) just a little lost right now. Never got bogged down in this many details on the deployment side of things. Al
