Java.rmi.RemoteException: newServlets not found

Question

I am developing a java servlet using J2EE 1.4 RI.
I have developed a new application called newServlets.ear. This application has a web component named Servlet1. When I click on Tools, Deploy I get the following error:
stop newServlets
running...
java.rmi.ServerException: RemoteException occured in server thread; nested exception is:
java.rmi.RemoteException: newServlets not found; nested exception is
javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: newServlets not found at
com.sun.corba.se.internal.iiop.ShutdownUtilDelegate.mapSystemException(ShutdownUtilDelegate.java:61)
at javax.rmi.CORBA.Util.mapSystemException(Util.java:65)
at
org.omg.stub.com.sun.enterprise.tools.deployment.backend.JarInstaller_Stub.stop(Unknown Source)
The J2EE RI Verifier produces no failed tests or warnings.
I have no idea what is causing this. Each time this happens, the Command Prompt window that is running J2ee server displays the message:
Stop recieved
I have tried stopping and restarting both the j2ee server and deploytool, but this has not fixed the problem.
In my servlet, I would like to take information that has been entered into an HTML text field and add it to a MS Access database. I have the following code in my servlet to load the driver:
final String pathConnection="jdbc:odbc:"+dataBase;
con = null;
String driverName="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
try{
try{
Class.forName(driverName);
System.out.println("OK");
catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
System.out.println(" ERROR : driver not found");
e.printStackTrace();
}//end inner try/catch
System.out.println("Drivers (DriverManager.getDrivers()) :");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(pathConnection, "", "");
}//end outer try block
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}//end outer catch
The following code is being used to enter the data into the database:
try {
stmt = con.prepareStatement(
"INSERT INTO User (emailAddress, passWord) VALUES (?, ?)");
stmt.setString(1, emAddress);
stmt.setString(2, passWord);
stmt.executeUpdate();
catch (SQLException e) {
System.err.println(e);
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
con.close();
Is it possible that something in the code above is causing the problem??
Please help!!
I am running J2EE 1.4 RI and J2SDK1.4.1_01 on Windows XP Professional.

I'm having a similar problem trying to deploy an EJB on the j2ee 1.4 ri. It appears to be some sort of JMX problem. I suspect it has something to do with having a wrong value somewhere in the sun-j2ee-ri.xml descriptor, but I haven't figured it out yet. If you have, can you let me know what you did to fix it?
Thanks,
