Hey Alan,
After reading the messages posted to the list, I took another stab at getting this to work, and managed to fix my problems. Once I got things working, I went back to the original (broken) config, and tried changes one at a time to determine the minimum necessary changes to get things working. Here's what I found: 1) Adding jdbc2_0-stdext.jar to the CLASSPATH is NOT necessary. 2) Looking in conf/ I found that the filenames of both default.cmp_global_tx_database.xml and default.cmp_local_tx_database.xml had been truncated when the package was untar.gzipped, removing the "xml" on one, and the final "ml" on the other. Obviously, these extensions must be fixed for the tests to run. NOTE: I'm running on Mac OS X (10.1.5), and this may be a problem with StuffIt Expander -- I noticed a note on mozilla.org about Mac OS X users having problems with truncated long filenames. It may just be worth a note in the Quickstart guide to point future Mac OS X users to the possibility that StuffIt is truncating long filenames. 3) Setting OPENEJB_HOME is necessary, otherwise the remote test fails, although the local test succeeds without this env var set. This should also be added to the Quickstart guide in my opinion -- I didn't see it listed there when I initially tried to set things up. Thanks for all the help! Now, the only question I have is this: is there a counterpart to the HelloWorld example which demonstrates setting up CMP entity beans? Hello World just sets up a stateless session bean.
