[jboss-user] [JBossCache] - ClassCastException/instanceof fails when getting object from

I am replicating a custom type in my JBossAS 4.0.5 cluster. It is working just great, but when I get an object put in the cache by one node on another, instanceof fails and if I just cast to the type I get a ClassCastException. In the debugger I can see it is the expected type - but somehow it is not the same. The type in question is a simple bean with some fields and getters/setters. I added a serialVersionUID to it and packed it in a JAR that I added to both the WAR which puts/gets the objects in/from the cache as well as to JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib, since I get a NoClassDefFoundError when the objects a deserialized if I don't put it there. I'm sure it's me who is doing something wrong - but what? In general - is it wise at all to put custom types in the cache or should it better be just a Map with Strings and so?
