What causes for a non-application exception

[Siraj Mohamed <Si...@virtusa.com>]

Hi All,
 
I am in the process of migrating a J2EE service (called XMeta service)
from WebSphere to Geronimo/WASCE. I have deployed the EAR successfully
without any errors by introducing openejb-jar.xml and a deployment plan
files. My EAR contains many EJBs to perform different services related
to persistent repository.
 
This is my deployment plan file ------>

1.	What would be reason for the exception? It looks like that the
EJB is not properly deployed and it could not find the EJB on the
server.
2.	Is there any tool available to test whether all bundled EJBs are
deployed successfully? For example I used to use Application Server
Toolkit for WebSphere app server.
 
Thanks in advance,
Siraj
