[jboss-user] [Beginners Corner] - JNDI/OpenLdap ClassCastException

Hi there, I have managed to get openldap setup with jboss connecting to it (by the method of editing jboss-service.xml and a properties file). Properties file: | java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory | java.naming.provider.url=ldap://localhost:389/dc=testing,dc=com | java.naming.security.principal=cn=Manager,dc=testing,dc=com | java.naming.security.authentication=simple | java.naming.security.credentials=secret | addition to jboss-service.xml: | <mbean code="org.jboss.naming.ExternalContext" name=":service=ExternalContext,jndiName=/ldap/configuration" > | <attribute name="JndiName">/ldap/configuration</attribute> | <attribute name="PropertiesURL">configuration.ldap</attribute> | <attribute name="InitialContext">javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext</attribute> | <attribute name="RemoteAccess">true</attribute> | </mbean> | This all seems to work fine as when I start up Jboss I can see openldap logging say that a manager has connected. In my servlet however I try to look up the JNDI resource. | InitialDirContext iniCtx = new InitialDirContext(); | Object ldap = iniCtx.lookup("/ldap/configuration"); | This works fine, but I am not sure what to cast it as. I try casting as LdapCtxFactory and I get a java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy61 Any ideas? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3963426#...
