Make sure you have this jar file defined in config.xml and application.xml

Personally, it is not recommended to modify config.xml or application.xml since weblogic console has provided us the convenience way to deploy the ejb.
Unzip ur ejb using winrar and see whether the package structure is correct or not and your class is there or not.
Supplemental : Do you have weblogic-ejb-jar.xml configured as well?
