Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I'm using J2EE(TM) Application Server 1.4 Developer Release (build b44-dr), AS8 of course.
I was trying to migrate a CMP program from weblogic6.
I finally successfully deployed the jar module.
However, I always had problem with the client side.
I pack these files in the application cliend jar file (without deplying it to the server):

application-client.xml, sun-application-client.xml, sun-acc.xml, bean remote interface class, bean home interface class, client class

and start from the command line:

appclient -client myclient.jar

but always got the error that follows. I'm longing to death hints. :( Thanks!

Here is how I lookup the home interface in Client.java:

Context initial = new InitialContext();
Context myEnv = (Context)initial.lookup("java:comp/env");
try {
Object home = (AccountHome) myEnv.lookup("ejb/AccountBean");
return (AccountHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(home, AccountHome.class);
}

In the descriptors:

sun-ejb-jar.xml: <jndi-name>AccountBean</jndi-name>
application-client.xml: <ejb-ref-name>ejb/AccountBean</ejb-ref-name>
sun-application-client.xml: <ejb-ref-name>ejb/AccountBean</ejb-ref-name>
sun-application-client.xml: <jndi-name>ejb/AccountBean</jndi-name>
// also tried with >>> sun-application-client.xml: <jndi-name>AccountBean</jndi-name>

The migration guide (from EJB 1.1 to 2) "http://docs.sun.com/source/817-6089/mg_appendixC.html" says that:

In Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8, EJBs are systematically mapped to the JNDI sub-context "ejb/". If we attribute the JNDI name "Account" to an EJB, then Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8 will automatically create the reference "ejb/Account" in the global JNDI context. The clients of this EJB will therefore have to look up "ejb/Account" to retrieve the corresponding home interface.

It puzzles me a little bit. I don't know if the error in my client is related to it. Anyway, here are the error messages:

$ appclient -client myclient.jar
