[jbossws-users] [JBossWS] - java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.naming.Reference while a

Hi, I am fresh to webservices under jboss. I have jboss4.0.4 with ejb3 and jdk 1.5 setup. I have downloaded the jboss web services 1.0.4 package and deployed it to the jboss instance. I then compiled the samples and was successful at it. I wanted to run the rpcstyle-client example (jaxrpc endpoint) and access the webservice using a standalone java client. I deployed the generated jaxrpc-samples-rpcstyle.war jaxrpc-samples-rpcstyle-client.jar and wrote a simple client as follows - import javax.naming.*; import java.util.*; import javax.xml.rpc.*; import javax.rmi.*; import org.jboss.test.ws.jaxrpc.samples.rpcstyle.TrivialService; public class TestWSClient { public void testTrivialAccess() throws Exception { InitialContext iniCtx = getInitialContext(); Service service = (Service)iniCtx.lookup("java:comp/env/service/TrivialService"); TrivialService port = (TrivialService)service.getPort(TrivialService.class); String person = "Kermit"; String product = "Ferrari"; String status = port.purchase(person, product); System.out.println("Status: " + status); } protected InitialContext getInitialContext() throws NamingException { Properties env = new Properties(); env.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); env.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming.client:org.jboss.naming"); env.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099"); env.setProperty("j2ee.clientName", "jbossws-client"); Properties p = System.getProperties(); p.put("com.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID", "1.0"); System.setProperties(p); return new InitialContext(env); } public static void main(String[] args) { try { TestWSClient wsClient = new TestWSClient(); wsClient.testTrivialAccess(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } } But on running the code I got the following exception java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.naming.Reference When I looked at the object returned by JNDI lookup it is of type org.jboss.ws.jaxrpc.ServiceReferenceable According to the documentation - http://labs.jboss.com/portal/jbossws/user-guide/en/html/clients.html this should work and return a Service refrence. What am I doing wrong? Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4003126#...
