Head First EJB

[Ann Person]

hello,

I am new to EJB and am experiancing difficlulty getting up and running. I have installed java sdk to C:\java and J2EE to C:\j2sdkee1.3.1 and my path settings are:

ANT_HOME C:\apache-ant-1.6.2
CLASSPATH C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\lib\j2ee.jar
J2EE_HOME C:\j2sdkee1.3.1
JAVA_HOME C:\Java
PATH C:\j2sdkee1.3.1\bin;C:\java\bin;C:\apache-ant-1.6.2\bin

however when I try to execute j2ee -verbose at the command line to start the server I get the following error ... I have reinstalled everything twice and searched around without any luck...
