ejb on weblogic7

[sjavasjava]

Hi ,

I am deploying a simple webservice (with an entity bean) on weblogic 7 from my own directory(for eg :- C:/test) .
To compile ejb classes and generate ejb-jar , ear files , I am using ANT . While compiling the ejb classe , i am encountering the following error :

ejb:
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\Test\build
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\Test\build\META-INF
[copy] Copying 5 files to C:\Test\build\META-INF
[javac] Compiling 3 source files to C:\Test\build

Could not read Web Service deployment descriptor

I have set the classpath and it is pointing to \server\bin and the ANT which in run points to \server\lib which has weblogic.jar .

Am i going wrong somewhere in setting the path . Pls help
