Another lookup() problem....

[lolsson]

In a (message driven) bean I am trying to lookup a
Class-valued environment value:

<env-entry>
 <description>Hmmmmm</description>
 <env-entry-name>T</env-entry-name>
 <env-entry-type>java.lang.Class</env-entry-type>
 <env-entry-value>java.lang.Integer</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>

In my bean I do:

 Object x = ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/T");
 System.err.println(x.getClass().getName());

When I run this the output is:

java.lang.String

This is not what I had expected.

Should I be able to lookup Classes from the
environment like this?

I am using JBoss 2.4.0 on Red Hat Linux 6.2.
