For some reason, I always have to specify the location= attribute on every ejb-ref-name in orion-ejb-jar.xml. If I don't do this, the beans cannot find each other through an <ejb-ref> tag. I am using the <link> tag in ejb-jar.xml, but that does not translate into a location attribute in orion-ejb-jar.xml. Has anyone else seen this problem. Is this a bug? Thanks. -AP_
