clientgen WSBuildException Could not find ejbjar for component

[Wb Moore]

I'm having a problem using clientgen. It complains that it can not find 'ejbjar'.
This is the actual error:

weblogic.webservice.tools.build.WSBuildException: Could not find ejbjar for component MyTools in ear

am using weblogic 8.1 sp3. java 1.4.2_12
Here is the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml:

<weblogic-ejb-jar>
  <weblogic-enterprise-bean>
       <ejb-name>MyTools</ejb-name>
       <enable-call-by-reference>True</enable-call-by-reference>
       <jndi-name>MyTools</jndi-name>
  </weblogic-enterprise-bean>
 
  <weblogic-enterprise-bean>
    <ejb-name>UtilEJB</ejb-name>
    <local-jndi-name>Util</local-jndi-name>
  </weblogic-enterprise-bean>
</weblogic-ejb-jar>

Here is the ejb-jar.xml:

<ejb-jar>
  <enterprise-beans>
    <session>
      <ejb-name>MyTools</ejb-name>
      <home>MyPackage.webservices.MyToolsHome</home>
<remote>MyPackage.webservices.MyToolsRemote</remote>
      <ejb-class>MyPackage.webservices.MyTools</ejb-class>
      <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
      <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
      <ejb-local-ref>

    </session>
  </enterprise-beans>
  <assembly-descriptor>

      </method>
      <trans-attribute>Required</trans-attribute>
    </container-transaction>
  </assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>

Here are the relevant build.xml targets:

<target name="generate.type.info.xml">     
   <autotype  
      javaComponents="MyPackage.webservices.MyToolsRemote"
   targetNamespace="http://myhost.mydomain.com"
   packageName="MyPackage.webservices.types"  
   keepgenerated="False"
   destDir="${build}" >   
    <classpath refid="build.classpath.builddir" />
   </autotype>
</target>
<target name="generate.webservices.xml">     
     <source2wsdd 
          javaSource="${src}/${meta.home}/webservices/MyTools.java" 
          ejbLink="MyToolsEJB.jar#MyTools" 
          ddFile="${build}/WEB-INF/web-services.xml" 
          typesInfo="${build}/types.xml" 
          serviceURI="/MyTools" 
          sourcePath="{build}" >   
        <classpath refid="build.classpath.builddir" />
      </source2wsdd>
</target>
<target name="generate.client.jar">
  <clientgen 
        autotype="False"
        ear="${dist}/${app.earname}"
        serviceName="MyTools" 
        warName="${servlet.warname}"
        packageName="MyPackage.webservices.client"
        useServerTypes="True"
        clientJar="${dist}/MyToolsClient.jar" >
        <classpath refid="build.classpath" />
  </clientgen>
</target>

this is the error I am getting:

[clientgen] Generating client jar for MyTools.ear ...
 
BUILD FAILED
file:c:/opt/MyProject/build.xml:246: weblogic.webservice.tools.build.WSBuildException: Could not find ejbjar for component MyTools in ear

what is causing this? I can find no reference to this problem anywhere.

help!
thanks,

ok, I found the error. I needed an application.xml describing the ear file:

<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd'>
<application>
  <display-name></display-name>
  <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>MyToolsWeb.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>mytools</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>
  <module>
    <ejb>MyToolsEJB.jar</ejb>
  </module>
</application>

and I needed to add a target in build.xml to put the application.xml into the appropriate dir:

  <target name="app-init">
    <!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile and copy the deployment descriptors into it-->
    <mkdir dir="${dist}/META-INF"/>
  </target>
 
  <target name="copy-application-xml">
  <copy todir="${dist}/META-INF">
            <fileset dir="${src}/${meta.home}" includes="application.xml" />
  </copy>
  </target> 
  
 
  <target name="ear" depends="build.jar, build.war, app-init, copy-application-xml">
        <jar 
jarfile="${dist}/${app.earname}" 
basedir="${dist}" 
        excludes="**/${nonejbcompiled.jarname},**/${common.jarname},**/${meta.home}/**" 
        update="yes"/>
  </target>
