ejb3: deployment error on Jboss

Hey All,

Another j2ee new-bie here!
I am not able to deploy my session bean (ejb3) on jboss 5.
I am using eclipse to create the bean and it is an empty bean, I just have my bean implementing both remote and local interfaces with just a println statement, was playing around to learn ejbs.
When I try to deploy my code on the server, jboss throws the following exception:

15:03:13,044 INFO  [JndiSessionRegistrarBase] Binding the following Entries in Global JNDI:

jboss.xml:

I appreciate all response. I am just stuck with this thing for 2 days now without much success.

Cheers,

Inside ejb-jar.xml file , this line is commented :
<!--<business-local>com.test.session.SessionBeanLocal</business-local>

and in jboss.xml: you were referring it to :

<local-jndi-name>com.test.session.SessionBeanLocal</local-jndi-name>

Try things one by one Until the normal functionality works

1. Remove the assembly-descriptor from your ejb-jar.xml file completely
2. Dont refer to any local beans in your xml files .

feel free to post further questiosn on this .

Thanks for the reply Ravi,

It throws the same exception even after removing them.

Thanks,
Sharath

Any idea??
