[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - Class.cast.Exception when Accessing a Session bean on 4.0.5

Can anyone help me - I'm at a loss. I'm also embarrassed because I think this should be easy. I've deployed my application in an EAR, it contains a JSF web app, and some EJB's. Here's the code I use to call the bean. | InitialContext context = new InitialContext(); | | Object objref = context.lookup("ReservationManager"); | | ReservationManagerHome reservationManagerHome = | (ReservationManagerHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, ReservationManagerHome.class); | | _reservationManager = | (ReservationManager)reservationManagerHome.create(); | The context.lookup successfully returns a proxy, but the narrow function throws a Class Cast Error shown below: 2006-12-07 14:56:13,610 ERROR [businesstier.base.ReservationsClassFactory] java.lang.ClassCastException | The deployment reports no errors -> here's the log: | DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.EJBDeployer.verifier] Bean checked: ReservationManager: Verified. | ... | INFO [org.jboss.ejb.EjbModule] Deploying ReservationManager | ... | DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.EjbModule] creating binding for ReservationManager:stateless-rmi-invoker | ... | DEBUG [org.jboss.system.ServiceController] Creating service jboss.j2ee:jndiName=ReservationManager,service=EJB | ... | DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.StatelessSessionContainer] Creating jboss.j2ee:jndiName=ReservationManager,service=EJB | ... | DEBUG [org.jboss.system.ServiceController] Creating service jboss.j2ee:service=EJB,plugin=pool,jndiName=ReservationManager | DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.StatelessSessionInstancePool] Creating jboss.j2ee:service=EJB,plugin=pool,jndiName=ReservationManager | ... | DEBUG [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.StatelessSessionInstancePool] Created jboss.j2ee:service=EJB,plugin=pool,jndiName=ReservationManager | ... | jboss.j2ee:jndiName=ReservationManager,service=EJB state: Created | ... | INFO [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.BaseLocalProxyFactory] Bound EJB LocalHome 'ReservationManager' to jndi 'local/ReservationManager@15468898' | I can see it as a service in the JMX-Console The Web.XML looks like this: | <ejb-ref> | <ejb-ref-name>ejb/ReservationManager</ejb-ref-name> | <ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type> | <home>businesstier.impl.ReservationManagerHome</home> | <remote>businesstier.impl.ReservationManager</remote> | <ejb-link>ReservationManager</ejb-link> | </ejb-ref> | The ejb-jar.xml looks like this: | <session> | <description>Session Bean ( Stateless )</description> | <display-name>ReservationManager</display-name> | <ejb-name>ReservationManager</ejb-name> | <home>businesstier.impl.ReservationManagerHome</home> | <remote>businesstier.impl.ReservationManager</remote> | <local-home>businesstier.impl.ReservationManagerLocalHome</local-home> | <local>businesstier.impl.ReservationManagerLocal</local> | <ejb-class>businesstier.impl.ReservationManagerBean</ejb-class> | <session-type>Stateless</session-type> | <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type> | ... | The deployment works like a charm on Oracle Application Server 10g. I'm completely stumped. What am I missing. Thanks, Nigel View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3992069#...
