[jboss-user] [JNDI/Naming/Network] - Newbie problem with context lookup

[Elinombrable]

Im new here so at first, hi to everybody.

Im starting with EJB and Jboss and i have solved different problems i had till now but i cant find a solution for this.

Im building an easy example with 1 easy bean with remote interface with 1 single method that returns a string saying hello world. 

Im trying to access that bean remotely from a simple java client, get the message and print into a dialog.

Here is the code:

The EJB remote interface

  | package stateless;
  | 
  | import javax.ejb.Remote;
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | @Remote
  | public interface NewSessionRemote {
  | 
  |     String getMessage();
  |     
  | }

The EJB bean implementing the interface

package stateless;
  | 
  | import javax.ejb.Stateless;
  | 
  | 
  | 
  | @Stateless
  | 
  | public class NewSessionBean implements NewSessionRemote {
  | 
  |     public String getMessage() {
  |         return "Hellow World";
  |     }
  |     
  |  
  | }


The standalone client

package standalone;
  | 
  | import java.util.Properties;
  | import javax.naming.Context;
  | import javax.naming.InitialContext;
  | import javax.naming.NamingException;
  | import stateless.*;
  | import javax.swing.*;
  | 
  | 
  | public class Main {
  | 
  |     public static void main(String[] args) {
  |         try {
  | 
  |             InitialContext ctx = null;
  |             Properties props = new Properties(System.getProperties());
  |             props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"192.168.0.14:1099"); //thats my computer network ip... just for testing purposes. Then i will use a separated file for loading properties
  |             props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
  |             props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES,"org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
  |             ctx = new InitialContext(props);
  |             NewSessionRemote testEJB = (NewSessionRemote) ctx.lookup("MiPrueba/NewSessionBean/remote");
  |             String cadena= testEJB.getMessage();
  |             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,cadena);
  |         } catch (NamingException nex) {
  |             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,nex.toString());
  |         }
  | 
  |     }
  | 
  | }


Config files are empty. I just used annotations. 

Im using NetBeans as IDE and when i execute my standalone client from NetBeans, everything goes right. A MessageBox showing "Hellow world" appears (the context.lookup returns a proxy) but when i execute the program outside the IDE, i get the following:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.naming.Reference cannot be cast to stateless.NewSessionRemote
  | 	at standalone.Main.main(Main.java:22)
  | 

And changing a bit the code so i can get the classes returned with:

   Object testEJB = ctx.lookup("MiPrueba/NewSessionBean/remote");
  |             JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,testEJB.getClass().toString());

when i execute it inside the IDE i get a :   class $Proxy2

but executing it outside the IDE i get:  class javax.naming.Reference


Any kind of help is welcome and thx in advance. You make it easier for people whos starting with this ;)
