jndi problem with 4.0.3rc1 and EJB3

[aberezin]

I have been playing around with EJB on 4.0.1SP1 and just moved to 4.0.3rc1. I added the persistance.xml in place of the hibernate.properties. I have a very simple test with one Entity and one stateless Session. Everything is running in a single VM. No changes to default configuration were made to the server=all.

The server starts up fine, creates or updates the db table behind the Entity. JNDI works to the exent I can do this:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Object o = ctx.lookup("java:/testDS");
System.out.print(o);

However, if I do this:
PersonSessionLocal dao = (PersonSessionLocal) ctx.lookup(PersonSessionLocal.class.getName());

I get this:

javax.naming.CommunicationException: Receive timed out [Root exception is java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out]
org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.discoverServer(NamingContext.java:1115)
org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.checkRef(NamingContext.java:1223)


I have tried running the app outside eclipse(doesnt help), trying a fresh install of jboss (using the installer).

Does anyone have any ideas?

OK, Im an idiot. I had some jars in my classpath that were contaminating classpath (older jta stuff). However, I am stull getting errors. I can now do a lookup and get a $Proxy object that appears (looking at the debugger) to proxy the PersonSession class but I get a classCastException when casting it.

This ClassCastException problem was expained in http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=66651

You cannot have the interface classes in the webapp classpath. However, I am trying to run the whole thing in one VM under eclipse so I had to play around with separate trees for the ejb code to keep it out of the web-inf tree. It all seems to work now.
