[jboss-user] [EJB 3.0] - ClassCastException EJB3 wrapped local object.

Hello there, I have the following issue. I have a Stateless session bean called SiteDAOBean. This bean has a method: | public void update(Site site) throws PersistenceException | { | em.merge(site); | } | Which works nicely if I call it remotely with a Site argument. However due to some extra functionallity that I need locally I have to wrap the Site class by extending it to SelectableSite. It then has a couple more methods that are only used locally and a field that is transient but it is still fundamentally a Site class. Calling: | SiteDAO siteDAO = (SiteDAO) context.lookup(SiteDAOBean.class | .getSimpleName() | + "/remote"); | siteDAO.update(site); | I get the following exception: Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: No ClassLoaders found for: mhl.edm.util.SelectableSite (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled) | at sun.rmi.server.LoaderHandler.loadClass(LoaderHandler.java:371) | at sun.rmi.server.LoaderHandler.loadClass(LoaderHandler.java:165) | at java.rmi.server.RMIClassLoader$2.loadClass(RMIClassLoader.java:620) | at java.rmi.server.RMIClassLoader.loadClass(RMIClassLoader.java:247) | at sun.rmi.server.MarshalInputStream.resolveClass(MarshalInputStream.java:197) | at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readNonProxyDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:1544) | at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readClassDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:1466) | at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readOrdinaryObject(ObjectInputStream.java:1699) | at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(ObjectInputStream.java:1305) | at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readArray(ObjectInputStream.java:1634) | at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(ObjectInputStream.java:1299) | at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:348) | at java.rmi.MarshalledObject.get(MarshalledObject.java:135) | at org.jboss.aop.joinpoint.MethodInvocation.getArguments(MethodInvocation.java:267) | ... 102 more Obviously I need to cast the SelectableSite back to Site so that RMI does not complain not finding the class remotely. I tried: siteDAO.update((Site)site); but that does not work. Can anyone tell me how to overcome this issue short from creating a new Site object? Thanks for your help.
