[jboss-user] [Beginner's Corner] - java.lang.ClassCastException when trying to access remote reference

Pasquale Imbemba [https://community.jboss.org/people/pi4630] created the discussion "java.lang.ClassCastException when trying to access remote reference" To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/714061#714061 -------------------------------------------------------------- I'm trying to access a reference (SLSB that implements a remote interface) from a remote client. try {             Context ctxt = new InitialContext(p);             ArrayList<String> listOfBeans = getBeanNames("Bean", ctxt);             for (int i = 0; i < listOfBeans.size(); i++) {                 NamingEnumeration<Binding> b = ctxt.listBindings(listOfBeans.get(i));                 while (b.hasMore()) {                     Binding bind = b.next();                     if (bind.getName().contains(string.toString().subSequence(0, string.toString().length()))) {                                                                        Object ref = bind.getObject();                         doer = (IDoSmthg) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, IDoSmthg.class);                                                 doer = (IDoSmthg)ref;                         return doer;                     }                 }             }         } catch (NamingException nE) {             nE.printStackTrace();         }         return null;     } According to JNDI API, getObject() retrieves the object bound to the name of the binding. So I'd expect that the narrowing would have been working. But it can't cast it, I get a javax.naming.Reference cannot be cast to org.omg.CORBA.Object Exception. In Debug, I see that what getObject() returns me, is a javax.naming.Reference. How do I get this casted correctly, so to make a call on it? I know this is not the documented way to do it, but my approach shall solve: I know the Interface, search the bean on JNDI that implements it, get the reference, make the call. Thanks in advance! -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/714061#714061] Start a new discussion in Beginner's Corner at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
