Simple lookup results in ClassCastException

[sateh]

I'm lost. I have such an incredibly trivial piece of code and yet it is throwing an exception that you would expect the last.

This is on 4.0.4GA with the EJB3 profile:

@Remote
public interface Hello {
 String sayHello();
}

@Stateless
public class HelloBean implements Hello {
 public String sayHello() {
 return "Hallo, wereld!";
 }
}

The exception is thrown from this code from a raw Servlet's doGet() method:

InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
Hello hello = (Hello) ic.lookup("MappedName-1.0-SNAPSHOT/HelloBean/remote");

The exception looks like this:

java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy102
 nl.arentz.stefan.mappedname.web.HelloServlet.doGet(HelloServlet.java:31)
 javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:697)
 javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:810)
 org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96)

And the relevant portion of the Global JNDI namespace like this:

 +- MappedName-1.0-SNAPSHOT (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
 | +- HelloBean (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
 | | +- remote (proxy: $Proxy102 implements interface nl.arentz.stefan.mappedname.ejb.Hello,interface org.jboss.ejb3.JBossProxy,interface javax.ejb.EJBObject)
 +- MappedName (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)
 | +- ejb (class: org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext)

My EAR looks like this:

This is basically the stateless calculator example from the tutorial. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

you are invoking in the same VM? JBoss serializes things in JNDI going in, but not going out. You probably have duplicate remote interfaces. One copy in your war, and one in your EJB jar. You either have to remove the duplicate code or set up JNDI CallByValue so that when you do a lookup, the result is serialized.

You are right of course Bill.

Silly me. One silent mistake in the maven pom.xml was the cause.
