There are a number of reasons why...<BR>
1) The original code WORKS in Websphere and I am trying to use/preserve as much of the original code as possible.<BR>
2) The object "home" in the specific code you're talking about is not identified as a bean yet and is still a generic Object. Consequently, the create() method is not available to call directly on the object. In other words, home.create in this instance is not valid.<BR>
3) This code makes use of a common bean handler pattern that all the beans in the application extend, providing a centralized manner of creating them.

As to a typo, only typo was two ";" - the original code passes in the first element of a generic Class[] array - which should contain the class passed into the method we're working with. At least this is my interpretation of the existing code. Since it is not working in the manner I expect, I will spend a little time looking for why - but I'm more interested in getting the entire application working first... So, this may not get too much attention now that I've found a way (within each EJBean's own code, rather than through a central calling pattern) to initialize the required beans.

thanks for looking at the code,<BR>
