I tried exactly this with the same result as reported. However - this was on the Sun App Server 9.1 distribution. I also have the Glassfish project version installed too and tried it on this - and it worked. So clearly there is something amiss with my installation somehow - I will look into it further.
Thanks very much for the help.
