> EJB3 Mirror issue of JBAS-5036.
> Local home (and presumably remote, too) implementation for EJB 3 sessions creates an object that is an instance of the local *business* interface of the EJB 3 session, and returns that. This is contrary to EJB 3 specification, which says that local home create methods must return an instance of the local interface of the EJB 3 session (as in: not local business interface).
> The type of the local interface is apparently deduced from the return type of the create method in the local home interface (there is no annotation for it).
> For beans that follow the specification, this causes a class cast exception when create() is called: the local home interface is specified to return an instance of local interface, but the implementation JBoss supplies creates a instance of local business interface (I presume so, because changing local home to return that works), and then we end up with class cast exception.
> There is no workaround other than going against specification in code: define local home interface to return instance of local business interface.
> This simple session, which as far as I can see is exactly according to EJB 3 spec, illustrates the problem, and does not work on JBoss 4.2.1.GA:
> -- 
> @javax.ejb.Stateless(name="Stateless")
> @javax.ejb.LocalHome(StatelessHome.class)
> @javax.ejb.Local({StatelessLocal.class})
> public class StatelessBean implements StatelessLocal { public void ejbCreate() {} }
> -- 
> public interface StatelessLocal {}
> -- 
> public interface StatelessHome extends javax.ejb.EJBLocalHome
> { public StatelessLocal21 create() throws javax.ejb.CreateException;}
> -- 
> public interface StatelessLocal21 extends javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject, StatelessLocal {}
> -- 
> When home is looked up, and create is called, the result is:
> java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy271 cannot be cast to StatelessLocal21
