Hi
I am trying to access a remote stateless session bean, which returns an interface. The interface is IStringWrapper which is an interface to StringWrapper, which has a single method, getString().
The bean looks like this:
public void ejbCreate() throws CreateException {
}
public IStringWrapper getStringWrapper() {
Log.debug( this, "Returning new StringWrapper with \"hello\"" );
return new StringWrapper( "hello" );
}
when I include the StringWrapper class in my client, everything works as expected, and I get the String "hello". If I leave out the StringWrapper class, and just include the IStringWrapper interface in the client, I get the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.reflect.UndeclaredThrowableException
at $Proxy1.getStringWrapper(Unknown Source)
at ejb.client.TestClient.getStringWrapper(TestClient.java:43)
at Test.main(Test.java:25)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ejb.results.containers.StringWrapper
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:199)
initially I got a reference to "(no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)" which I fixed with a security policy, but I still get the ClassNotFoundException.
Am I being a complete noob here, and misunderstanding the process. I thought that the ejb could return an interface, so that the client doesn't need the actual class. Is this not the case, or have I messed up something else fundamental. I know I am hitting the server, as the debug messages are showing up.
Thanks
