Get ejb3 from remote host (jboss 5.1) to jboss 4.x
Hi,
I'm trying to get an ejb3 from a remote host (that uses jboss 5.1) inside jboss 4.x. The code I use is the following:
public void myFunction() {
Properties jndiProps = new Properties();
jndiProps.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
jndiProps.setProperty(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interface");
jndiProps.setProperty(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://{host-ip}:{host-jndi-port}");
try {
FooInterface foo = (FooInterface)(new InitialContext(jndiProps)).lookup("{jndi-name}");
foo.doSomething();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
But doing that, I get a ClassCastException here "FooInterface foo = (FooInterface)(new InitialContext(jndiProps)).lookup("{jndi-name}");":
java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.naming.Reference cannot be cast to my.package.FooInterface

Host ip, jndi name and host jndi port are correct. I can't figure out how to get my FooInterface from a javax.naming.Reference object.
The Reference object toString method returns something like:
Reference Class Name: Proxy for: my.package.FooInterface
Type: ProxyFactoryKey
Content: ProxyFactory/.....
Type: EJB Container Name
Content: jboss.j2ee:ear=xxx.ear,jar=xxx.jar,name=FooBean,service=EJB3
Type: Proxy Factory is Local
Content: false
Type: Remote Business Interface
Content: my.package.FooInterface
Type: Remoting Host URL
Content: socket://hostpcname:3873/?
Is there a way to do that or does it depends on something else (libraries, configuration, jboss version...)?
Thanks in advance.
