[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - ClassCast Exception when trying to get a Seam Managed Statef

[griffitm]

Hi All, 

I am getting this error when trying to get a seam managed component from a servlet.

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.javassist.tmp.java.lang.Object_$$_javassist_0
  |         at action.gov.hhs.fda.ocio.fdaaa.servlet.ExcelExportServlet.service(ExcelExportServlet.java:42)
  |         at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:803)

The offending line in the servlet looks like this:
        DeliverableSearchAction searchAction = (DeliverableSearchAction) Component.getInstance("deliverableSearch");

The component is defined as:
@Stateful
  | @Name("deliverableSearch")
  | @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
  | public class DeliverableSearchAction implements DeliverableSearch, Serializable { ...
  | 

I have the following mapping in my components.xml file:
<web:context-filter url-pattern="/excel"/>

I have the following servlet mapping in my web.xml:

  |    <servlet>
  |       <servlet-name>Excel Export Servlet</servlet-name>
  |       <servlet-class>action.gov.hhs.fda.ocio.fdaaa.servlet.ExcelExportServlet</servlet-class>
  |    </servlet>
  |    
  |    <servlet-mapping>
  |       <servlet-name>Excel Export Servlet</servlet-name>
  |       <url-pattern>/excel</url-pattern>
  |    </servlet-mapping>
  | 

Can anyone point out what I am doing wrong? I'd simply like to get a reference to the seam managed bean so I can get my data from it and export it in Excel format using POI.  

Any help would be much appreciated!
