This issues has been posted before, but possibly in different contexts. No solution appears to have been posted.
If I place the remote and home interfaces for a bean in jboss/lib/ext, a lookup of the bean from within Tomcat environment causes a ClassCastException. Removing the lib/ext classes lets the lookup work fine.
Using JBoss 2.4.4 Tomcat 4.0.1. Beans are deployed as an ear, while interfaces (required by MBeans) are in a jar in lib/ext.
Thanks,
Peter
