 I've almost finished the same tutorial with the same program versions
on a jdk 1.4.2 Win2K box, but it worked for me.  Have you double checked
all the Lomboz installation stuff (from their install guide)?  Have you
added the bean to the module (the "Add to Module" context menu item)
before generating EJB sources for that module?  Have you changed some of
the packages but forgotten to change all the references?

 Once you're past that stage you'll find that XDoclet (Lomboz uses this
to generate the java files) has a couple of bugs - still in the latest
release AFAIK.  The one noted in the tutorial can be fixed by following
http://www.amitysolutions.com.au/documents/XDocletChange-technote.pdf &
using a slightly different tag from the tutorial.

 Another occurs during the SessionStateBean example - it gets the
generated ejbCreate param list wrong in the LocalHome interface.  I
didn't get round to fixing XDoclet for that as the bean isn't used in
later chapters.
