Return value from create(): null.

[baba mama]

I am new to EJB development and I am having some problems.
I followed a tutorial for creating entity bean accessed by a session bean.
I think I am missing some fundamental about the creation and configurations
Here are the messages displayed while execution

Could you post the code which is generating this exception?

[baba mama]

Thank you Annie for your reply
actually i tried to downgrade from JBoss 4.0.3 to 3.2.5
because JBoss 4 supports EJB 3.0 while Jbuilder 2005 does not
this changed the exception to a problem binding to the datasource.
i checked the jndi naming and i think everything is fine
jndi name for datasource JDataSourceDS
in the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml everything is ok (java:/JDatasourceDS)
but i get the following execption
-------------------------------------------------------------------
21:28:25,116 INFO [EjbModule] Deploying Employee

21:28:25,307 INFO [EjbModule] Deploying EmployeeSes

21:28:25,777 ERROR [EntityContainer] Starting failed jboss.j2ee:jndiName=Employee,service=EJB

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error: can't find data source: JDataSourceDS; - nested throwable: (javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: JDataSourceDS not bound)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you can help me!!!
thx anyway!!!
