Compile problem with client code

[Chris Voge]

Hello. I am having an issue with compiling my client code.

What I have done so far...

-Compiled my java files.
-Created the jar from the class files
-Deployed the bean to the server and returned a client jar stub to my
code directory

I am creating a client program to interface with the bean and when I attempt to compile, I get:

C:\EJB\AdviceClient.java:21: cannot access AdviceHome
bad class file: .\AdviceHome.java
file does not contain class AdviceHome
Please remove or make sure it appears in the correct subdirectory of the classpath.
AdviceHome home = (AdviceHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o, AdviceHome.class);
^
1 error

Tool completed with exit code 1

As you can see, I'm using textpad.

Here is my client code:

import javax.naming.*;
import java.rmi.*;
import javax.rmi.*;
import headfirst.*;
import javax.ejb.*;

public class AdviceClient
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new AdviceClient().go();
}

public void go()
{
try
{
Context ic = new InitialContext();
Object o = ic.lookup("AdviceBean");

AdviceHome home = (AdviceHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o, AdviceHome.class);

Advice advicebean = home.create();
System.out.println(advicebean.getAdvice() );
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

I am using Head First EJB as a reference. You can probably download the rest
of the code from www.wickedlysmart.com if you like.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

Chris.

bad class file: .\AdviceHome.java
file does not contain class AdviceHome

And does your AdviceHome.java file contain AdviceHome?
