Using a regular bean in a statefull Session bean

[M Burke]

I am using Websphere 5.1

I added the bean project to the bean path and Project Referances in Project Properties for the Session bean.

I have a regular bean class (None-ejb), and I want to use it in a Session bean. But in the create I get an error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: EZTaxJavaJNI.EZTaxJNI" when I call create().

public class JNIFacadeBean implements javax.ejb.SessionBean {
private EZTaxJNI ezJNI;

public void ejbCreate() throws javax.ejb.CreateException {
ezJNI = new EZTaxJNI();
}

//other stuff...


}

You need to add the references as java jar dependencies. Those are used at runtime, while the build path is used at compile time.

That worked, thanks Jeanne
