Reflection on EJB session bean on client side

[jc7442]

I need to invoke method from a remote session bean from client using reflection API.
I've tried:

Method method = clazz.getMethod(MySession.class, null);
MySession s= (MySession) ctx.lookup(...);
Object o = method.invoke(s, args);

Of course it does not works since s is neot an instance of MySession but a Proxy on MySession.

How can I invoke a method of a remote session bean using reflection ?

MySession s = (MySession)ctx.lookup();

s.getClass().getMethod(...);

Hi!

I have the same problem and I couldnt get things working.

When I typecast the object returned by the lookup (a Proxy),
I get ClassCastException and I really don't understand why.

The callByValue is set true.

And, the only place where my interfaces are is in the ejb-jar
which is deployed inside an ear file.

I also have a ejb-client jar with only the interfaces and it
is located at server/default/lib so JBoss can load the interfaces.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

have you set callbyvalue for JNDI? its in conf/jboss-service.xml

That was it!

As Im using version 4.0.4, it is in deploy/naming-service.xml

Thank you!
