EJSException in VAJ4 (deploying Entity Bean)

[seema mani]

hi
I was trying out the Visual Age Entity Bean tutorial at http://www.sagunsolutions.com/sharad/techdocs/entitybeantutorial.html
Since I do not have DB2 installed, I'm using InstantDB database. In the Schema Browser, after I gave the command 'Export entire Schema to the database', I'm able to see that the table has been created in the database.Then I started the persistent name server and the EJB Server. Then the server throws the following exception.
EJB server exception
com.ibm.ejs.EJSException: ; nested exception is:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.ActiveObjectInitException
com.ibm.ivj.ejb.samples.helloworld 3.5 was marked as a scratch edition because
a new edition of HelloClient was made.
EJB server exception
com.ibm.ejs.EJSException: ; nested exception is:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.ActiveObjectInitException
EJB server exception
com.ibm.ejs.EJSException: ; nested exception is:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.ActiveObjectInitException
EJB server exception
com.ibm.ejs.EJSException: ; nested exception is:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.ActiveObjectInitException
EJB server exception
com.ibm.ejs.EJSException: ; nested exception is:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.ActiveObjectInitException
EJB server exception
com.ibm.ejs.EJSException: ; nested exception is:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.ActiveObjectInitException
It could not be any problem with finding the jdbc driver or datasource because Test Connection was successful. Could anyone suggest what the problem could be ?
Thanks a lot

We really don't recommend you use InstantDB for CMP Entity EJB's. The product is not tested on it, and it's not guaranteed to work with it.
You can download a FREE Developer's copy of DB2 from www.ibm.com. Just go ahead and do that -- the only thing it costs you is hard drive space.

hi
I went to the db2 download site for Windows2000. There are 6 files mentioned there.
DB2 UDB PE: winudbpeen.zip 255MB
DB2 Connect PE: conpeen.zip 221MB
OLAP Starter Kit: olapsken.zip 56.3MB
DB2 Extender NLV: db2extndr.zip 222.6MB
Text Extender NLV: text_extender.zip 19.8MB
XML Extender NLV: xml_extender.zip 43.2MB
Do I need to download all of them ?
Or are any of them optional ? I do not have
so much disk space. And the download speeds are also a problem here.
Please advise.
Thanks

DB2 UDB PE: winudbpeen.zip 255MB
This one might be enough. It's BB2 UDB Personal Edition.
