I tried the application assembly tutorial with the websphere trial 4.0
on Win2000 with apache 1.3.20. No database apart from instantdb present.
Everything was fine until I came to code generation for deployment. The
following exception was shown. The same happens if I start the ejbdeploy
tool manually. I am lost! Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?

Thanks,
Lutz

Lutz,

Can you clarify for me 'No database apart from instantdb present.'? WAS4.0
does not have instantdb. AEs (single server) has XML as repository, and AE
supports RDBMS. InstantDB is not supported as repository.

AAT does not require running WAS4.0 or IHS1.3.20.

Where did you download tutorial?

The trial is AE single server. InstantDB is supplied as database for the
sample programs. I have no other db installed yet. The AAT tutorial is
part of the infocenter (on ibm's website), and is about assembly of an
application that includes a session bean (so no db necessary to run it).

The problem finally disappeared after reinstalling WebSphere. (now in
C:\WebSphere\AppServer, was C:\Program Files\WebSphere\AppServer)
