Exceptions in deploying ThreeEJB Hotel sample

Question

When I use JDeveloper to deploy ThreeEJBHotel to "Connection" I
encounter the following exceptions. I am looking for
suggestions from other developers or Oracle tech support.
The OS is Windows 2000 advanced server.
Thank you very much.

Hi Allen,
I assume you have followed the steps given in the readme.html
file, like creating EJBs in the first project, then creating a
web.jpr for the client and so on. In the course of this, you
would also have created an app server connection, where you would
have mentioned the host of your OC4J server, username, password
etc. After that you would have created a deployment profile for
the EJB, where you would have mentioned the EAR and EJB-Jar
file.Then you would have right clicked on the deployment profile
and clicked deploy. Just to reiterate the steps. Can you clearly
say at what point you get this exception?
Cheers
