Hi there

I am about to go mad! The error I am receiving is so non-specific I
could fall over and start convulsing. Sorry, just very frustrated.

For the server.log file I get (verifier returns that the archive is valid)

[#|2006-12-19T20:45:22.171+0200|INFO|sun-appserver-pe9.0|javax.enterprise.system.tools.avk.tools.verifier|_ThreadID=15;_ThreadName=Thread-36;|No
errors found in the archive.|#]

The EJB I am try to deploy looks like

@Stateless
@WebService(serviceName = "TitleService")
public class TitleWorkFlowManagerImpl implements TitleWorkFlowManager {
 
  TitleManager manager =
TitleManagerImpl.getDefaultFactory().create();private TitleManager
manager = TitleManagerImpl.getDefaultFactory().create();
 
  public TitleWorkFlowManagerImpl(){

  }

    @WebMethod(operationName="changeTitleDetails")
  @RolesAllowed("TitleAdministrator")
    public TitleResponse changeTitleDetails(TitleRequest titleRequest){

      return manager.updateTitle(titleRequest);
    }

    @WebMethod(operationName="createTitle")
    @RolesAllowed("TitleAdministrator")
  public TitleResponse createTitle(TitleRequest titleRequest){
    return manager.addTitle(titleRequest);
    }

    @WebMethod(operationName="getTitleDetails")
  @RolesAllowed("TitleUser")
    public TitleResponse getTitleDetails(TitleRequest titleRequest){
      return manager.requestTitle(titleRequest);
    }

    @WebMethod(operationName="listTitles")
  @RolesAllowed("TitleUser")
    public ListResponse listTitles(ListRequest listRequest){
      return manager.requestTitles(listRequest);
    }

    @WebMethod(operationName="removeTitle")
  @RolesAllowed("TitleAdministrator")
    public TitleResponse removeTitle(TitleRequest titleRequest){
      manager.deleteTitle(titleRequest);
    }
}


Can anyone see anything glaringly obvious? Any roads I can take to
narrow the problem down, anything at all?

Thanks
Kenneth
