See Thread at: http://www.techienuggets.com/Detail?tx=59823 Posted on behalf of a User I have the same problem, trying to find whats wrong. Now I think the problem is with XDoclet. In Response To: I'm trying to figure out why remote access to my EJB works but local access doesn't seem to. If I create a test remote test client using the following code, everything seems to work fine. | Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); | env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, | "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); | env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099"); | | try { | LeagueFacade leagueFacade = LeagueFacadeUtil.getHome(env).create(); | League league = leagueFacade.findLeague(1); | If I use the following code in a jsp or servlet deployed as part of the same EAR into the Jboss container, I get an exception (failing on the call to LeagueFacadeUtil.getHome() ). | LeagueFacadeHome h = LeagueFacadeUtil.getHome(); | LeagueFacade l = h.create(); | League league = l.findLeague(1); | Iterator schedules = league.getSchedules() | .iterator(); | | java.lang.ClassCastException | com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source) | javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source) | com.leagueplanet.ejb.LeagueFacadeUtil.lookupHome(LeagueFacadeUtil.java:25) | com.leagueplanet.ejb.LeagueFacadeUtil.getHome(LeagueFacadeUtil.java:42) | org.apache.jsp.schedule_jsp._jspService(schedule_jsp.java:78) | If I try to add an initial context environment as I did for the remote client, I get a different exception and it fails on the call to LeagueFacadeHome.create() | root cause | | java.rmi.ServerException: EJBException:; nested exception is: | javax.ejb.EJBException: Invalid invocation, check your deployment packaging, method=public abstract com.leagueplanet.ejb.LeagueFacade com.leagueplanet.ejb.LeagueFacadeHome.create() throws javax.ejb.CreateException,java.rmi.RemoteException | org.jboss.ejb.plugins.LogInterceptor.handleException(LogInterceptor.java:365) | org.jboss.ejb.plugins.LogInterceptor.invokeHome(LogInterceptor.java:136) | org.jboss.ejb.plugins.ProxyFactoryFinderInterceptor.invokeHome(ProxyFactoryFinderInterceptor.java:107) | org.jboss.ejb.SessionContainer.internalInvokeHome(SessionContainer | I'm obviously missing something but can't quite figure out what it is. BTW, this is the basic code from the WTP book, which was aimed at a JBoss 4.0 deployment. Thanks, mark
