Appreciate if anyone could point me to some resource on how to access VSAM files on the IBM mainframe.
Thanks in advance.

Hope this might help you. The article at this link should give you an idea.

Can some one suggest a good book to start learing more about XML technologies.
Thanks in advance.

B2B is the short form for Business to Business (B2B)

Does any one know if there are any open B2B Standards or B2B Specifications in support of B2B process integration.
Thanks in advance.

I hope a bit of insight at the following link would give a better explanation...

Hope this would answer some of your questions..
The standard API for EJB can be found under the javax package "javax.ejb.*". This should be made available to you with the application server that you are using (either via. jar file of a directory of classes). Make sure you have the location of this jar file/directory appended to your classpath.
The Weblogic.properties file (if my guess is correct you are using Weblogic 5.1 or lower version) should be located in your Weblogic Root directory.

Amir,
Hope, the following explanation would clarify some of your questions.
First, you are right when you said that you specify in deployment descripter whether the bean is a CMP or BMP.
Deploying, and the usasge of CMP is verymuch tied to the vendor of the Container. I am not aware of any Application servers that support Stored Procedures for CMP beans.
