I've faced with the problem. I've successfully lookuped my remote bean from JBoss, but when I try to invoke any of its method next exception is about to appear:

    java.lang.Class cannot be cast to java.lang.String.

Full stack trace is:

  java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Class cannot be cast to java.lang.String

Last row is the invocation of my method called "CreateEvent".

I guess the exception is throwned inside "getResult()" method of EJBClientInvocationContext.

My code is:

IEventDao eventDao = (IEventDao) ctx.lookup("java:/task/EventDao!MyPackage.IEventDao");

EventDao has been successfully gotten from the remote.

Trying to invoke a method:

public Event createEvent(final Event event) {

       return eventDao.createEvent(event);

}

Event event = new EventImpl("Test event: Star Wars: Episode VI");

createEvent(event); <-- Line #89. Exception has been throwned.

CreateEvent method body. But just for your info: it's not even enter this piece of code. It throwns the exception before even invoking `entityManager.persist(event);`

    @Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)

    public Event createEvent(Event event) {

        entityManager.persist(event);

        return event;

    }

Any ideas? Thank you.
