WSAD and EJB problem

[Shreya Menon]

Hi all,
I created a sample session ejb and am trying to call an outside Java class from ejb.
I tried accessing an outside java class from servlet and it works.
Now my java file is like this
public class MyTest{
static String to = "Test";
}

In my session ejb, I wrote a method to access this class and get the value of this String.
public String getValue() throws java.rmi.RemoteException {
MyTest test = new MyTest();
String xyz = null;
xyz = MyTest.to;
return xyz;
}
Now this is the error that I am getting when I run the EJB in websphere test environment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occurred in server thread; nested exception is:
com.ibm.ejs.container.UncheckedException: ; nested exception is:
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: try to access field com/test/MyTest.to from class com/test/HelloWorldSesionBean
com.ibm.ejs.container.UncheckedException: ; nested exception is:
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: try to access field com/test/MyTest.to from class com/test/HelloWorldSesionBean
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any help is appreciated..
Thanks

Make the field public.
