I get the following abend when I run the AdviceClient as per page 58 of the book "Head First EJB". I have a new compaq Persario computer and am running Windows XP with all the latest updates. This is a desparate situation because I can't continue reading the book until I get this first example to work. Here is the error text. I added debugging messages:
