Urgent - J2EE Enterprise Beans (BMP) with Microsoft Access???

Please please please help, this is driving me crazy!

Im trying to use a Microsoft Access Database from J2EE Bean Managed
Persistence (BMP) Enterprise Java Beans, and its not working :-[

Im doing a Java course but our lecturer has been absent until very recently
and however his lectures seem to cover general java concepts rather than
practical implementation, ive spent the last two weeks tearing my hair out
over deploying EJB's - but that works now :-)

Okay my platform is - Together 6.0.1, Sun JDK 1.3, Sun J2EE 1.3 Reference
Implementation.

I have created a series of Entity and Session beans, basically empty classes
at the moment, I am now trying to call one of my EJB's and have it return a
record from a database. At the moment I am having trouble making my EJB's
talk to my Microsoft Access Database.

What I have done so far -

1.) Setup a System DSN in ODBC called JAuction that points to my access
database.

2.) Using the Deployment Tool that is bundled with J2EE -
        Tools -> Server Configuration -> DataSources -> Standard

        Here I added a new driver class sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

        I also added a new datasource -
        JNDI Name:     jdbc/JAuction
        JDBC URL:     jdbc:odbc:JAuction

3.) I have a 'UserBean' whoose JNDI name i set to 'UserHome' in the
deployment settings I also give it the resource reference -
    Coded Name:        jdbc/JAuction
    Type:                     javax.sql.DataSource
    Authentication:    Container
    Shareable:            [Ticked]
    JNDI Name:        jdbc/JAuction
    Username:           [blank]
    Password:            [blank]

4.) I verify and deploy my beans to the server using the deployment tool
which all works fine.

However if I call the create method of UserBean from my client app, UserBean
tries to connect to the database and I get an Exception thrown and I dont
know why.

My Client (JFrame1) throws this exception data -

The code that tries to connect to my ODBC source of my EJB 'UserBean' Entity
Bean is as follows -

public void setEntityContext(javax.ejb.EntityContext context) throws
javax.ejb.EJBException
{
        ctx = context;

        try
        {
            InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();

            DataSource dataSource =
(DataSource)initCtx.lookup("java.comp/env/jdbc/JAuction");

            connection = dataSource.getConnection();

        }
        catch(NamingException namingEx)
        {
            throw new EJBException(namingEx);
        }
        catch(SQLException sqlEx)
        {
            throw new EJBException(sqlEx);
        }
}


Thanks Thanks and Thanks again I really need help with this one
