Mysql, Jboss connecting problem

Question

Hello,
I am having problem with mysql database. I am trying to run AccountEJB application from SUN with mysql as my backend.
PLEASE DO NOT FORGET I AM NOT EXPERT IN JBOSS OR EJB BUT I AM TRYING TO LEAN WITH A EXAMPLE.
HERE IS MY SETUP UP TO THIS POINT.
I am running jboss-3.03.0_tomcat-4.0.3
I am including
1. AccountBean
2. ejb-jar.xml
3. web.xml
4. jboss.xml
6. mysql-service.xml ( I add my database name, username, password and i copy it to ..server/default/deploy dir.)
I only modified mysql-service.xml. Do i have to modify any other jboss files. Some people are saying i have to modify "standardjaws.xml, standardjbosscmp.xml"
My AccountBean code is
Please take a look at "setEntityContext" and "makeConnection" that is where problem comes.
Here is the error
