Re: [jboss-dev] Howto debug jndi lookup issues?

Folks, java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.naming.Reference cannot be cast to org.jboss.test.osgi.jbosgi58.ejb.StatelessBean at org.jboss.test.osgi.jbosgi58.OSGI58TestCase.testEJB(OSGI58TestCase.java:54) a JNDI client lookup may fail for various reasons . AFAIK, the above CCE happens because there is some calss missing on the client classpath. JNDI gives up internally and simply returns the reference. To solve the problem I could do <dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.jbossas</groupId> <artifactId>jboss-as-client</artifactId> <version>6.0.0.M1</version> <type>pom</type> </dependency> but this gives me an insanely big dependency tree (http://pastebin.com/m3776fc85). I'd much rather find out, what exactly is missing and use a client that contains just that. Is there a way to debug these kind of JNDI client issues? cheers -thomas
