nested exception in Persistent Name Server

[Kathy OConnell]

I am developing my first EJB in VisualAge for Java version 4. When I try to start the Persistent Name Server, I get the following message:
An exception has occurred while starting the Persistent Name Server. com.ibm.ejs.EJSException:; nested exception is:
I have deployed the EJB (Account). However, not all the classes/interfaces expected have been generated – 3 are missing: AccountTransfer, AccountTransferBean, AccountTransferHome.
I am pointing to an Access database using jdbc.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get around this?

Kathy, I am moving this to the WebSphere forum.

If you tell us what the nested exception is, it will give us more of a clue about what the problem is.
If your account bean is CMP, I don't think that will work if you are using ODBC to connect to Access.

The actual exception is not given in the error message.
However, in the console the following is given:
Persistent Name Server cannot be started.
com.ibm.ejs.EJSException: ; nested exception is:

Following your suggestion, if you cannot use a CMP bean to connect to Access using ODBC from VisualAge, then what databases can you connect to? I tried installing DB2 from the CD given in the book, but was unsuccessful. I think that was because I have Windows 2000 and the version of DB2 I had could only be installed in Win 98 or Win NT.
Thanks

Kathy,
You can download a free version of DB2 from the IBM Website that will install on Windows 2000.

I looked into downloading DB2 from internet, but was put off by size of download - over 500mb. But, if that is the only way I will do it
Thanks
