ResourceReference has no reference set

Question

I am trying to deploy application application on server anf
getting the following error :
weblogic.management.ApplicationException: activate failed for xis
Module Name: xis, Error: weblogic.j2ee.DeploymentException: Could not setup environment
- with nested exception:
[weblogic.deployment.EnvironmentException: ResourceReference has no reference
set]
at weblogic.j2ee.J2EEApplicationContainer.activate(J2EEApplicationContainer.java:1035)
at weblogic.j2ee.J2EEApplicationContainer.activate(J2EEApplicationContainer.java:1016)

at weblogic.kernel.ExecuteThread.execute(ExecuteThread.java:153)
at weblogic.kernel.ExecuteThread.run(ExecuteThread.java:134)
My web.xml file contains the following:
<resource-ref>
<description>jdbc/UserPreferenceDataSource</description>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/UserPreferenceDataSource</res-ref-name>
<res-type>weblogic.jdbc.common.internal.RmiDataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
config.xml contains relevant code for DataSource and ConnectionPool:
<JDBCConnectionPool CapacityIncrement="2"
DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" InitialCapacity="4"
LoginDelaySeconds="1" MaxCapacity="10" Name="UserPrefPool"
Password="{3DES}JFWl3Q1Brpk=" Properties="user=cdb"
RefreshMinutes="10" ShrinkPeriodMinutes="15"
ShrinkingEnabled="true" Targets="vpaleyServer"
TestConnectionsOnRelease="false"
TestConnectionsOnReserve="false" TestTableName="dual" URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@mali.lab254.telcordia.com:1521:isecom07"/>
<JDBCDataSource JNDIName="jdbc/UserPreferenceDataSource"
Name="UserPreferenceDataSource" PoolName="UserPrefPool" Targets="vpaleyServer"/>
Any ideas what is wrong?
Thanks

          This problem had a simple solution. I needed to add a <resource-description> element
          to weblogic-ejb-jar.xml.
