    lookup ClassCastException

    dvlinh

      I have a problem with the remote interface:

      The code:

      ctx = getInitialContext();
      Object ref = ctx.lookup("challenge/AddLinkServiceBean/remote");
      AddLinkServiceRemote addLinkService = (AddLinkServiceRemote) PortableRemoteObject
       .narrow(ref,AddLinkServiceRemote.class);
      


      The error:
      12:38:04,828 ERROR [STDERR] Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy97
      12:38:04,828 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:212)
      


      The jmx-console:
      +- challenge (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
       | +- AddLinkServiceBean(class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
       | | +- remote (class: java.lang.Object)
       | | +- remoteStatefulProxyFactory (proxy: $Proxy92 implements interface org.jboss.ejb3.ProxyFactory)
      


      I don't understand why it has the remoteStatefulProxyFactory here. Could you help me please?

          Wouldn't it be enough to write:

          ctx = getInitialContext();
          AddLinkServiceRemote addLinkService = (AddLinkServiceRemote) = ctx.lookup("challenge/AddLinkServiceBean/remote");

            I'm getting the same problem. This only seems to happen when I use the @stateful annotation. When I use @stateless the problem goes away.

              I also have this problem.

              I have two ears. One with the StateFul Bean and one with the war-file and a Servlet. I run the following code in the Servlet:

              Context ctx;
               try {
               ctx = new InitialContext();
               Object o = ctx.lookup("StatefulTest/remote");
               Class[] interfaces = o.getClass().getInterfaces();
               for (Class intf : interfaces) {
               writer.println(intf.getName());
               }
               StatefulTest stateFulBean = (StatefulTest) o;
               writer.println(stateFulBean.sayHello("mike"));
               } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace(writer);
               }
              


              The output is:

              Any hints?

                Is this really a remote EJB? Try doing a narrow on the interface prior to use

                StatefulTest stateFulBean = (StatefulTest)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o, StatefulTest.class);

                  Sorry I posted the wrong output. I also tried it with local-binding (which of course isn't correct).

                  Here the correct output, now also included your line:

                    This sounds exactly like my problem as well. I had a thread called "ClassCastException when updating ear-jar.xml schema" on this that I'm still having problems with. I'm not sure if that thread will give you the slightest hint of a solution or not, but I'm all ears if anyone solves it in this thread.

                      Hi.

                      I had the same problem.
                      After long googling i found the answer here:

                      http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=CommonHurdlesAndDifficultiesYouMayEncounterDuringEJB3Development

                      There are two possible error scenaries:
                      1. You packaged the same class file twice in the same EAR (in two different JARs for example)
                      2. You specified incomplete JNDI name at lookup (forgot /local or /remote)

                      Solution to the first scenario is to either enable call by value in the conf file naming-service.xml or repackage your ear without duplicates
                      You don't have to be genious to figure out solution to the second scenario ;)
