Through the help of Micah Skilling at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and my ejb group the ejb samples were figured out. There is some corruption of files, but it can be worked around. My principals.xml file for the admin tag - the password was replaced by my password that I use. This needs to be replaced by 123. Micah had to delete all the .xml files in his demo/ejb/META-INF directory except application.xml file. In his cart directory in the jndi.properties, he put in the admin user with the password being 123. I hope this helps, Debra p.s. Micah just emailed me and just informed me he believes the corruption of the files is caused by the -install command. I found this through the readme file in orion: java -jar orion.jar -install
