title: EJBConfigurationException: Bean class for EJB not found
body: <p>I have an java web-project where ejb's (3.1) are configured. When I add (add projects) the ear-project to the local websphere aplication server v8.0 (in eclipse) and start the server I receive the following error:</p>
  
  <p>Error while processing references for EJB-in-WAR: com.ibm.ejs.container.EJBConfigurationException: The bean class "nl.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.GebruikerFacade" for EJB "xx-xx-ear#xx-xx-web.war#GebruikerFacade" is not found.</p>
  
  <p>Because I couldn't find the problem I deployed the ear-file to the websphere application server via the admin console (new application). The ear-file I created using mvn clean install package.
  Then when starting the application from within de admin console the error is not given.
  In stead it is reporting that the remote interface of the GebruikerFacade is binded.</p>
  
  <p>What can be the cause of the error when starting the application server where the ear-project is added using add project.</p>
  
  <p>Extra info: Added 20141211
  The reason why the bean class cannot be found is the fact that when the ear is deployed to the webspere application server via add project the business interface is empty within the deployed ear.
  This is a property in Enterprise Java Bean properties/Bind EJB Business of an Enterprise bean.
  The module, bean and uri property are set but the business interface which has to be the full path to the Remote interface class is not.
  When de ear is deployed on the application server via new application the business interface contains the Remote interface Class.</p>
