User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Calling EJB from servlet - EJB's interface class not found": http://community.jboss.org/message/521206#521206 Author : Mike Johnson Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/micjohnson997 Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- I have deployed several EJBs into an EAR on JBoss 6.0.0 M1.  I then have a separate WAR (not deployed inside the EAR) with a servlet that uses InitialContext.lookup() on the remote name of the EJB.  When doing this, I get a ClassNotFoundException for the interface class, even though the interface class is inside a JAR in the WAR's WEB-INF/lib directory. Here's the start of the stack trace:   javax.naming.NamingException: Could not dereference object [Root exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Can not find interface declared by Proxy in our CL + org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.WebCtxLoader$ENCLoader@efdd6a]      at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.getObjectInstanceWrapFailure(NamingContext.java:1508)      at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:824)      at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:688)      at javax.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:392)   then of course there's a bunch more stuff, followed by:   Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: <My interface class name>      at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)      at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)      at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:307)      at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)      at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)      at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:247)      at org.jboss.ejb3.proxy.impl.objectfactory.ProxyObjectFactory.redefineProxyInTcl(ProxyObjectFactory.java:406)   I've seen several posts talking about potential classloader issues, but I'm not familiar with the JBoss class loading scheme, so I was hoping someone had written up some good directions on how to correctly configure everything for calling an EJB from a WAR.   Thanks in advance, Mike Johnson -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/521206#521206
