EJB redeployment : ClassCastException
Hello,
I posted a simmilar message a couple of days ago, but, since I haven't got any response yet, I decided to post more information about what appears to be a serious bug with CMP redeployment. I tried the latest JBoss from sourceforge without any luck. Any advice in this matter would be highly appreciated.
Briefly, here is the problem:
A jar contains 2 CMP entity beans: EventBean and ProfileBean. ProfileBean holds a local reference to EventBean. When I first deploy the jar, everything goes fine, the ProfileBean is created fine, the local reference to EventBean is created fine as well and everything works good. The problem appears when I modify the EventBean and then redeploy the archive. The following line in ProfileBean generates the ClassCastException:
EventLocalHome eventLocalHome = (EventLocalHome)initialContext.lookup("java:/comp/env/ejb/EventBean");

Here is the ejb-jar.xml file for the jar bundle(never mind the bad design with CMP directly exposed to the clients without a session beans layer - it's just a test):

Does anybody know anything about this problem? Is this a known-bug or am I doing something wrong?
I don't have this problem with session beans, they are correctly redeployed. Only entity beans return ClassCastException during redeployment.
Thanks a lot for your help
