Problem deploying Session Bean

[breako]

Hi,
I have a very simpl ear, test.ear which packages up the following:

test.ear
-enterprise.jar
---- AddressDAI
---- AddressDAOImpl
---- // other java files
-enterprise.war
---- // usual web stuff
- meta - inf
---- application.xml


My session bean interface is

@Remote
public interface AddressDAO {
 public void createAddress(Address address);
}

My Session bean implementation is:

@Stateless
@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN)
public class AddressDAOImplBMT implements AddressDAO{
 public void createAddress(Address address) {
 // java code
 }
}

I deploy my .ear. I check the JBoss JMX console to see if I can see my Session bean.

I expect to see it under:

java:comp namespace of the test.ear/test.war application

But I don't.

I see it under:

Global JNDI Namespace
 +- test (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
 | +- AddressDAOImplBMT (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)

Consequently I have problems using the Session bean.

If I try to do:

Object ref = ctx.lookup("java:comp");
ref = ctx.lookup("test/AddressDAOImplBMT");
AddressDAO dao = (AddressDAO)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, AddressDAOImplBMT.class);

I get a class cast exception,

 java.lang.ClassCastException: Class AddressDAOImplBMT is not a valid remote interface

any ideas would be greatly appreciated - thanks

Hi,
I fixed this problem by updated client code to:

 Object ref = ctx.lookup("ta3g/AddressDAOImplBMT/remote");
 System.out.println("ref is : " + ref);
 AddressDAO dao = (AddressDAO)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, AddressDAO.class);

Now I am getting:

java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy74

Since you are using EJB3.0, you no longer need to "narrow" the returned object. The lookup will return you an proxy which implements AddressDAO interface. Change your code to

AddressDAO dao = (AddressDAO) ctx.lookup("ta3g/AddressDAOImplBMT/remote");
