I removed the duplicate jbossws-container-jboss-beans.xml from the deploy directory of my server and the "WSKernelLocator already installed" error went away, but I am still getting the ClassCastException when I do a JNDI lookup on my EJB. I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong...everything seems to deploy without issue. If anyone has any suggestions, I would be most appreciative!
