    Jboss AS 5.0.1 clients libs with 5.1 server?

    henk53

      Hi,

      I'm looking for some information whether the Jboss AS 5.0.1 client libs are compatible with a Jboss AS 5.1 server.

      I found a compatibility matrix here: http://www.jboss.org/community/wiki/JBossVersionCompatibilityMatrix

      but Jboss AS 5.x is not included. Now I vaguely remember having seen a matrix somewhere that did include Jboss AS 5.x, but after searching for a long time, I was unable to find this.

      Is there a compatibility matrix somewhere that includes Jboss AS 5.x?

          I don't remember seeing such a wiki.

            Okay, as I said I remembered it only vaguely. Apparently it thus was something else that I saw with Jboss 5.x on it.

            I just did some testing and it seems the Jboss AS 5.0.1 client libs might not be compatible with a Jboss AS 5.1 server. I get the following exception in client code when accessing a remote EJB bean deployed on a Jboss AS 5.1 server, which works perfectly fine on a Jboss AS 5.0.1 server.

            java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.naming.Reference cannot be cast to com.example.TestBean
            


            Where TestBean is a normal remote interface for a SSB.

            As this concerns a real-life clien app which includes many other libs (including the Hibernate and Jboss Cache libs, which often conflict with the Jboss client libs), my next move will be testing with a very simple hello world type app.

              There was some EJB3 proxy refactoring done, which i think is causing this issue. EJB3 calls between 5.0.1 and 5.1.0 is not compatible.

                Thanks for the confirmation jaikiran. At least now I know I didn't had something wrongly configured. Maybe it's an idea if someone could update the wiki? I guess there'll be others who eventually stumble on the same problem.
