class cast exception

[razvanc]

Hello,

I am using JBoss 4.0.4.GA and i have the following problem:

I have two ears,
- first contains the ejbs jar + the ejb interfaces jar. The ejb jar refers the ejb interfaces jar.
- the second ear contains a war archive that refers the ejb interfaces jar file. it also contains the ejb interfaces jar file in root.

I also changed the ear deployer.xml to have isolation and call by value set to true.

when I try to acquire a reference to a stateful session bean located in the first ear from the second ear, i get a class cast exception:

SEVERE: Error Rendering View[/view_server.xhtml]

basically after i've done some reading it seems it's a classloader problem.
however, i need to separate the two ear files as they will ultimately be deployed on separate machines.

Can you ples tell me how can i solve this?

I think this is the same issue that I was having a week or so ago. Here is some links to my threads:

Hopefully they can help you.

thank you for your reply.

i think i am going to try your solution, deploying the whole ejb jar in both the ejb ear and the client application ear as well.

can you please post how the jboss-app.xml files look like for both of your ears?

Sure, the jboss-app.xml files look something like:

<jboss-app>
 <loader-repository>ISG.panel:loader=panel-server.ear</loader-repository>
</jboss-app>

I don't think it matters what you put for the name of the repository, as long as it is unique.

gary.
