somthing wrong with lookup

[rsczepan]

I try to get an LocalHome - Object.

KreditkarteLocalHome kreditHome = (KreditkarteLocalHome) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/KreditkarteLocalHome");

But I get a ClassCastException, so I tried:

Object kreditHome = ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/KreditkarteLocalHome");

That works fine. The Object I get back is another Entity - Bean programmed by myself (I used Reflection to found out this).

If I delete this Object (which i get back) in the ejb-jar.xml and i try:

KreditkarteLocalHome kreditHome = (KreditkarteLocalHome) ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/KreditkarteLocalHome");

I get an FinderException: could not dereference Object

Is there anybody who can help me?

Thanks Ralf

The dereferencing error usually occurs because your resolution of the component's local reference to the global JNDI object is incorrect. Check jmx-console -> jndiview -> list to check your EJB for correct resolution. As to the first problem, it sounds like you are resolving to the wrong end-point, obtaining the wrong local home. Check your bindings again. We are working in the dark so you might want to post your relevant ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml for the caller (or web.xml and jboss-web.xml if the caller is a servlet/JSP).

Thanks, I found the Mistake.
I have had the wrong
<ejb-link>wrongName</ejb-link>
in the <ejb-local-ref> in the Session-Bean.
