Hi all - Thanks to Noah and Mike for the EJB package help! I've got my 3 EJBs deployed and functioning nicely, but I was wondering if I can deploy all my EJBs in 1 descriptor file, in one META-INF directory at the base of my packages, instead of having seperate ejb-jar.xml files for every EJB and package I have? This would greatly simplify my directory structure, and my NT CLASSPATH. I tried having the dir. structure of c:\orion\AllEJBs\package1,2,3 and put the META-INF dir. under my AllEJBs dir., and then named all my EJBs in the META-INF/ejb-jar.xml file, but got another Descriptor not found error. thanks again, Dan ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
