Error while running ejb client....

[sailaja parepalli]

Hi,
I am running my ejb client in WSAD 5.0.
Code for the client follows:-
-------------------------------------------------------------------
java.util.Hashtable props = new java.util.Hashtable();
props.put(InitialContext.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://localhost:900/");
props.put(InitialContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.ibm.websphere.naming.WsnInitialContextFactory");
Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);
Object obj = ctx.lookup("ejb/com/ad/ejb/SimpleSessionHome");
SimpleSessionHome ptxhome = (SimpleSessionHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,SimpleSessionHome.class);
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The ejb session bean also is running on the same WSAD 5.0 with WAS 4.0 runtime environment.
I am getting the following exception while executing my client application....................
Nested Exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ad.ejb.SimpleSessionHome
I added the SimpleSession ejb-jar file to the java build path while compiling the application itself.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

But have you included the jar file into the runtime classpath?
On a different note, "sailu" doesn't conform to our naming policy because we require both a first name (or initial) and a last name. You can change it here.
Thanks.

Can you please be more clear?
I included it in Java build path using properties->Java build path->libraries->Add external jars.
Do I have to do anything else other than this?
Thanks.

Hmm. You shouldn't need to add your own project .jar file into the project's build path -- everything should already be in the source folders, and thus end up into the classpath when you're running something from within WSAD.

I have creted and tested the ejb project with Universal test client first. It works fine. Then I created the application client project and have created the client to access the SimpleSession EJB. How do I access the ejb project classes (Remote Home, bean etc) without including the SimpleSession-ejb-jar.jar file in my application client build path?
Do I have to import or include it while creating the application client project itself? If yes, can you please tell me how to do it?
Thanks much.

Yes, the client .jar file is needed in the classpath when running the client application.
How to do that with WSAD is beyond my skill set (I'm an Eclipse user but this is WSAD specific stuff).

Thank You.
