This forum is for EJB and for J2EE and is not devoted to Weblogic. We have a forum for Weblogic in the Products section. Please post your query there.
Matt or any Sheriff could you please shift this to that forum.
Thanks.

hi mujtaba,
I am herewith writing the steps to deploy ejb in weblogic6.0
1)compile your home,remote and bean class.
2)create a text or xml deploymentdescriptor.
a)Text deploymentdescriptor
you can find sample deplyment descriptor in the weblogic.it may be in the name DeploymentDescriptor.txt.change the home interface,remote and bean class name in the deplymentfile.then use the utility
java weblogic.ejb20.utils.DDConverter -d outputdirectory name Textfilename to create xml file from the text file.you may get two xml files ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml.
b)Xml file descriptor
there are sample xml files in the weblogic directory
named ejb-jar.xml and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml,change the remote,home and bean class name in the xml deploymentdescriptor.

3)create a directory named META-INF and copy the xml file into this directory.
create jar file for meta-inf and the directory containing ejb classes.now use java weblogic.ejbc.
copy the jar file into the application directory of your weblogic mydomain.
start the weblogic server and run your ejb
dont forget to set the classpath to weblogic.jar and weblogic_sp.jar.

Hi when i run command weblogic.ejbc i get error :Class AccountBean not found
Why so?
My commands are:
copy *.xml build\META-INF
javac -d build Account.java AccountHome.java ProcessingErrorException.java AccountBean.java
cd build
jar cv0f beanManaged.jar META-INF wow
cd ..
java -classpath %WL_HOME%/lib/weblogic_sp.jar;%WL_HOME%/lib/weblogic.jar java weblogic.ejbc -compiler javac build\beanManaged.jar %APPLICATIONS%\beanManaged.jar
this iswhere i get error
