problems running JBoss Apache Web application with Servlets+EJB

[rahul bivalkar]

Hi everybody
I have been unable to get Budi Kurniawan's Tassie Online Book Store application ( also available on: http://benmira.free.fr/en/j2ee/sessionEJB.htm#ch29lev1sec4)
to read anything from the database TassieDB which contains the table Books. I am not sure what is wrong. I downloaded the database from the CD supplied with Budi's book. Then since this was in an older version of Access, I had to let my Access convert it to the newer form.

I then configured the Database the way I thought I should in order for it to work. I created a Data Source Name called TassieDB, by following the procedure to create a System DSN on Windows. I selected the Microsoft Access Driver and associated my Database which I named TassieDB1, which I deposited under C:\budibookstore which also contains the package com.brainysoftware.tassie.servlet.ejb

When I access the SearchServlet page and type in "Computer" or any other search term in the search box nothing turns up. The page is blank when there should be a list of books shown. I wonder what is going on? Is it not reading from the database?

The following errors are spewed out by Apache in this process:
