Kevin, your "Home interface" class, the LoginHome object, should have a
create() method. In fact, you can have several create methods if you like,
each with a different parameter list (yes, you can have no create methids,
but thats a special case no relevant here). The Orion primer does show a
create method. Check out steps 4 and 5. Look for helloHome.create().
Once you have gotton an instance of your home interface object, you call
its create method and it returnes to you an instance of your EJB's remote
interface.
As for compiling, In EJB 1.1 Orion has to generate the RMI stubs and
skeletons for your classes and it has to compile those. In EJB 2.0, Orion
has to create actual classes that extens the abstract classes you wrote,
and these have to be compiled.
In both cases, you must have the JDK installed and not just the JRE for
this reason.
Good luck...
