Hi,

I'm trying to deploy a very simple j2ee project (one jsp, one bean that just has a method to return a string) into Tomcat 5 (Windows XP, Tomcat 5.0.28, Eclipse 3.0.1, MyEclipseIDE 3.8.2, java j2sdk 1.4.2_06 -- anything else?).

I get the following error in the browser:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/ejb/SessionBean

In my project, the IDE insists on importing a bunch of JBoss libraries, despite the fact that I've never installed JBoss.

Do I need to install JBoss to run Tomcat? Or am I doing something else wrong (probably)?

Help is much appreciated -- thanks!!

Mayank,
If you are working with EJBs then that means you need a full J2EE compliant server, JBoss happens to be a very popular open source one, Tomcat does not support EJBs.

The JBoss libraries added to your build path are just J2EE 1.4 compliant files to allow you to develop J2EE apps. When you deploy your project (e.g. WebLogic, JBoss, Websphere, etc.) the server's own versions of those libraries will be used instead.
