Weblogic Server 8.1 giving weird error while deploying EJB

Question

Hi All,
I am using weblogic8.1 server with service pack 4.
I am trying to deploy an entitybean (ejb2.0) specification. I am getting following error.
==========================================================
[Deployer:149033]preparing application sum.LDN on MyServer
[Deployer:149033]failed application sum.LDN on MyServer
[Deployer:149034]An exception occurred for task [Deployer:149026]Deploy application sum.LDN on MyServer.:
Exception:weblogic.management.ApplicationException: prepare failed for sumEJB.jar

Unable to deploy EJB: sumEJB.jar from sumEJB.jar:

==========================================================
This is very surprising error I am getting. Because getHandle(), getEJBHome(), isIdentical() are no where declared in business interface extending EJBObject.
Descriptor File is perfectly fine.

Please Help..

Answer 1

<p>I could not find any documentation that suggested LIMIT or OFFSET where supported. Some of our developers needed to use limit, in the end all I could suggest was using a dynamic query and setting the maximum number of results see here
