EJB Websphere with Universal Test Client

Question

Hi,
I developed an ejb application using WSAD. I developed a universal test client in WSAD. The business logic method which i have written is argumented. When i am testing ejb applicatin with Universal test client, i should see text box to enter value for that arguments. But i am not getting that provision.
The method definition is like this:
private long [] employeeIDs = { 10010, 10023, 10045, 10051, 10061 };
private String [] employees = {"Frank", "Sam", "Maddy", "Jack", "Lorette" };
public String getEmployeeName( long employeeID )
throws javax.ejb.CreateException, java.rmi.RemoteException
for ( int i=0; i < employees.length; i++ )
if ( employeeIDs[ i ] == employeeID )
return employees[ i ];
return "ramesh";
Please help me. Thanks in advance

Is this the first time you are using the Universal Test Client? You first have to get to the EJB via either a create (for a Session Bean) or a create or finder method for an entity bean. Once you have the EJB, it should show you all the available methods and when you select one, it should give you the text box to enter the parameters. How far are you getting in the process? By the way, methods have to be defined in the remote or local interface for the UTC to show them.
This has nothing to do with the UTC but why is your getEmployeeName method throwing a CreateException?
