Problem with J2EE RI

[Karthik Bharadwaj]

Hi,
I started preparing for SCBCD, 3 days before, and I'm trying to get the j2ee server running on my machine. But when i issue the command "j2ee -verbose", as stated in Head First EJB book, I'm seeing the following exception and the server doesnt start up.

 [color=green]F:\Documents and Settings\Karthik>j2ee -verbose
J2EE server listen port: 1050

To the best of my knowledge, I've set the PATH and J2EE_HOME variables properly. Is there any other libraries or class files that I need to get?? Please help me with this.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Karthik Bharadwaj,

In the exam prospective the HF book is not applicable for new SCBCD 5.0 exam. Also for EJB 3, I recommend Glassfish 2.0 or Jboss 5.0.

Thanks

Karthik,

try to use this configuration- if it resolves your error.

To avoid any error and for successful running of server, follow the following steps
CLASSPATH = .;J2EE_HOME/lib/j2ee.jar
JAVA_HOME = //directory of your java standard
J2EE_HOME = //directory of your j2ee

using j2sdk1.4.0
