[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - ClassCast Exception when trying to get a Seam Managed Statef

Hi All, I am getting this error when trying to get a seam managed component from a servlet. java.lang.ClassCastException: org.javassist.tmp.java.lang.Object_$$_javassist_0 | at action.gov.hhs.fda.ocio.fdaaa.servlet.ExcelExportServlet.service(ExcelExportServlet.java:42) | at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803) The offending line in the servlet looks like this: DeliverableSearchAction searchAction = (DeliverableSearchAction) Component.getInstance("deliverableSearch"); The component is defined as: @Stateful | @Name("deliverableSearch") | @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION) | public class DeliverableSearchAction implements DeliverableSearch, Serializable { ... | I have the following mapping in my components.xml file: <web:context-filter url-pattern="/excel"/> I have the following servlet mapping in my web.xml: | <servlet> | <servlet-name>Excel Export Servlet</servlet-name> | <servlet-class>action.gov.hhs.fda.ocio.fdaaa.servlet.ExcelExportServlet</servlet-class> | </servlet> | | <servlet-mapping> | <servlet-name>Excel Export Servlet</servlet-name> | <url-pattern>/excel</url-pattern> | </servlet-mapping> | Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong? I'd simply like to get a reference to the seam managed bean so I can get my data from it and export it in Excel format using POI. Any help would be much appreciated!
