EJBHome problem

[pappu pager]

I am getting the following problem in the log file when server is started.
However I have the j2ee.jar file in my server classpath. How do i know if it(javax.ejb.EJBHome) is getting loaded??.
Pointers to this will be appreciated.

Did you explicitly add j2ee.jar to the classpath? If so, take it out! WebSphere already includes this on its classpath for deployment -- in general you should NEVER mess with the WebSphere classpaths.

thanx kyle,
i had it in the jvm setting classpath and bootclasspath....i've removed it now.....and all is working fine,...however j2ee.jar is included only in the firststeps.bat file so if i start the server using startserver.bat explicitly it used to give the error.....
