Dear aslesha,
Never be sorry to ask questions. I do it all the time

I seems like the ejb compiler cannot see the class specified in you ejb-jar.xml. This class is specified within the < ejb-class > tag. I have one that looks like:
On my machine the .class file is located in:
C:\xpresstrade\classes\com\xpresstrade\server\ejb\user
The class is in a package named com.xpresstrade.server.ejb.user
So my classpath must include c:\xpresstrade\classes for a
Java program to see it, the ejb compiler is a Java program.
One can verify the classpath (Win32) by typing echo %classpath% in the command prompt.
I hope this helps. If you can't successfully run the ejb compiler, it would help if you posted:
The relevant section of you ejb-jar.xml
Your classpath right before you run the ejb compiler
The package your bean class is in
I do believe you only have a simple problem. I'm sure your brain is working fine, at least you're smart enough to hang out in a saloon
