calling an ejb from jsp

[magesh sripathy]

i have created a simple ejb and deployed it in Weblogic, using the generated .jar file.
I then created a webmodule containg a jsp and i have deployed in weblogic .
when i try to call the ejb from the jsp in the webmodule i am getting a
noclassdeffounderror.

my ejb-jar.xml

<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>sampleAccess</ejb-name>
<home>com.sampleejb.SampleejbHome</home>
<remote>com.sampleejb.Sampleejb</remote>
<ejb-class>com.sampleejb.SampleejbBean</ejb-class>
<session-type>Stateless</session-type>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>

my weblogic-ejb-jar.xml looks like#
weblogic-ejb-jar>
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>sampleAccess</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>nickname</jndi-name>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
</weblogic-ejb-jar>


my web-xml looks like

<web-app>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb1</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
<home>com.sampleejb.SampleejbHome</home>
<remote>com.sampleejb.Sampleejb</remote>
</ejb-ref>
</web-app>


my weblogic.xml looks like

<weblogic-web-app>
<reference-descriptor>
<resource-description>
<res-ref-name/>
<jndi-name/>
</resource-description>
<ejb-reference-description>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb1</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>nickname</jndi-name>
</ejb-reference-description>
</reference-descriptor>
</weblogic-web-app>

if i include the ejb home and remote interface class in the webmodule it works fine.can you help in solving the above issue without adding the ejb interface in the webmodule....
