    PortableRemoteObject.narrow() returns null

      Hi there

      I've got some problem with runing an EJB application over RMI/IIOP.

      I went through the tutorial DukesBank from JBoss http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/getting_started/v5/html_single/ . After I successful could run the application, I tried to run it over RMI/IIOP. I thought, I just have to do change some properties. But it wasn't as easy as I expected.

       public static CustomerControllerHome getCustomerControllerHome()
       throws NamingException {
       InitialContext initial = new InitialContext();
      
       String customerControllerEjbhome = "ebankCustomerController";
       Object objref = initial.lookup(customerControllerEjbhome);
      
       Object obj = PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, CustomerControllerHome.class);
      
       return (CustomerControllerHome) obj ;
       }
      



      When I run this code, the call PortableRemoteObject.narrow() returns null. I don't know why. The Object obj is a CORBAObjectImpl Object and for me it seems that it contains all the necessary things.

      I googled for this problem but I didn't find a resolution.

      What I think is strange, when I debug the code, I see, that it uses the Sun classloader and not a JBoss classloader. Is this normal? Has anybody an idea, why the call PortableRemoteObject.narrow() returns null?

      I'm using the following environment:
      JDK: Sun JDK 1.5.0_09
      JBoss: JBoss 4.0.5

      Thanks for your help
