Compile and deploy ejb2.0 on weblogic 6.0

[Philip Yang]

Hi, everybody,
It seems that weblogic 6.0 supports ejb2.0, but when I use weblogic.ejbc to build ejb2.0 project, it will complain "local-home" in ejb-jar.xml.
Does somebody have experience on deploying ejb2.0 to weblogic 6.0?
Regards.

I had a lot of problems trying to run EJB 2.0 on WebLogic 6.x.
When I tried the same thing on WebLogic 7.x, the same app worked fine.
Here is an example that I know works on WebLogic 7.x, but I have not tested this on WebLogic 6.x.
I know it works with 7.x

WebLogic 6.0 was out before EJB 2.0. You can download an extension jar to enable EJB 2.0 features, but still it is a pre-release version of 2.0 and also not a full implementation. It's basically just a "2.0 preview".
6.1 was better, but I don't remember the exact certifications.
7.0 is fully J2EE 1.3 (which includes EJB 2.0).

Dave that was my experience as well.
I used 6.1 and somethings just did not work.
I upgraded to 7.0 and everything worked.

Hi Philip Yang,
to enable ejb2.0 features in weblogic6.0 you have to copy the ejb20.jar file in server/lib directory. by default wls6.0 supports ejb1.1.
you can download this jar file from

Thanks Seenu R
I did not know you could get ejb 2.0 to work properly in wl 6.x.
I thought you had to switch to wl 7
