Hi, Rahul,
Thanks for the suggestion and I finally get it running-- the same complaint is still there(when I started up the server), I think it's probably the server found that I made the second attempt of the deployment and complaints I try to "reuse" the JNDI mapping(you know, I have to run my build script everytime I update my source code.). The whole movie is like this:
1. I edited the sample build.xml from the weblogic 6.1 and make it suitable for the sample "converter" ejb downloaded from the Sun J2EE website.
2. And then I run the "ant" on my "build.xml" to build and deploy my EJB (no complaint at all!!)
After the deployment, I ran the "setEnv"(modified to suit my current directory structure) and then start the weblogic server.
And it gave me the name duplicate exception as on my last post message("...javax.naming.NameAlreadyBoundException: Can't rebind anything but a replica-aware stub to a name that is currently bound to a replica-aware stub; remaining name.."). However the server is running.
And then, I modified the "ConverterClient.java" file(combining the strutural features from the traderclient file from the weblogic example), like this:
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.util.Properties;
import javax.ejb.CreateException;
import javax.ejb.RemoveException;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;

After that, I re-run the client as:
java ConverterClient
t3://localhost:8001 And it works !!!
But still, if anyone can tell me how to get rid of the complaining message from the server like the following would be of much appreciated!!
"....

Thanks very much.
