We're migrating our Pega instance from WAS 7 to Tomcat 7 (JDK 1.7) and we're having issues making the existing configuration for EJB calls work. The remote service is in WAS 9. The Initial Context Factory class for the JNDI SERVER is set to com.ibm.websphere.naming.WSnInitialContextFactory. In order to get rid of the ClassNotFoundException, we have added the com.ibm.ws.ejb.thinclient_9.0.jar to the Dynamic System Settings but when we tried to add this jar to Tomcat's classpath, we get errors trying to start everything up (Failed to start component errors, both for the manager and web apps).

We've read this post https://collaborate.pega.com/discussion/pega-connect-ejb-ejb-connector-tutorial which is very similar to what we are doing, except for the versions and that they had JBoss hosting the remote service.

Anybody out there who knows how to make this work where the remote service is in WAS 9?

BTW, we tried to import the jar file into Pega using Application>Distribution>Import, but it keeps timing out.
