Local ejb access vs remote access

[msecrist]

I'm trying to figure out why remote access to my EJB works but local access doesn't seem to. If I create a test remote test client using the following code, everything seems to work fine.

 Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
 env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
 "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
 env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");

 try {
 LeagueFacade leagueFacade = LeagueFacadeUtil.getHome(env).create();
 League league = leagueFacade.findLeague(1);

If I use the following code in a jsp or servlet deployed as part of the same EAR into the Jboss container, I get an exception (failing on the call to LeagueFacadeUtil.getHome() ).

 LeagueFacadeHome h = LeagueFacadeUtil.getHome();
 LeagueFacade l = h.create();
 League league = l.findLeague(1);
 Iterator schedules = league.getSchedules()
 .iterator();

java.lang.ClassCastException
 com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source)
 javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source)
 com.leagueplanet.ejb.LeagueFacadeUtil.lookupHome(LeagueFacadeUtil.java:25)
 com.leagueplanet.ejb.LeagueFacadeUtil.getHome(LeagueFacadeUtil.java:42)
 org.apache.jsp.schedule_jsp._jspService(schedule_jsp.java:78)

If I try to add an initial context environment as I did for the remote client, I get a different exception and it fails on the call to LeagueFacadeHome.create()

root cause

java.rmi.ServerException: EJBException:; nested exception is:
 javax.ejb.EJBException: Invalid invocation, check your deployment packaging, method=public abstract com.leagueplanet.ejb.LeagueFacade com.leagueplanet.ejb.LeagueFacadeHome.create() throws javax.ejb.CreateException,java.rmi.RemoteException

 org.jboss.ejb.plugins.ProxyFactoryFinderInterceptor.invokeHome(ProxyFactoryFinderInterceptor.java:107)
 org.jboss.ejb.SessionContainer.internalInvokeHome(SessionContainer

I'm obviously missing something but can't quite figure out what it is. BTW, this is the basic code from the WTP book, which was aimed at a JBoss 4.0 deployment.

Thanks,
