Deployment error while running the application

Question

Hi Every body,
I am new to JEE though an old pro at JDK.I have also worked on tomcat.
I have got Sun Java System Application Server 9.1 installed with NetBeans 6.1 on winXP.
I am trying to create a EJB app-client module.I even tried to run the sample application AnnotationOverrideInterceptor given in NetBeans . Every thing goes fine.The Build is also Successful but when i run it, i recieve the error message Deployment error .The module has not been deployed.
See the server log for details.
I am posting a part of server log stack.:
Application server startup complete.

Hi jwenting,
Thanks alot for replying.
But i am still unable to come out of the mess.Here is the program i am using please help me find out the error.
Here we go:
package hello;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
@Stateless
public class HelloBean implements HelloRemote {
private String name="Yoodleyee";
public String sayHello() {
//return null;
return "My Name is "+name;
// Add business logic below. (Right-click in editor and choose
// "EJB Methods > Add Business Method" or "Web Service > Add Operation")
package hello;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
@Remote
public interface HelloRemote {
String sayHello();
In the Hello-app-client module i have main()==>>
package hello;
import javax.ejb.EJB;
public class Main {
@EJB
private static HelloRemote helloBean;
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
System.out.println("Hi "+helloBean.sayHello());
since this program does not require deployment descriptor and also NetBean creates its own deployment discriptor hence i have not written any.
Please tell me where and waht i should change.Also tell me is diployment descriptor necessary.
Awaiting for the reply.
