    ClassCastException

      Hi,

      I am trying to get a HomeObject as follows:
      [pre]
      objRef = (SvcJ2XHome) initial.lookup("SvcJ2X");
      svcJ2XHome = (SvcJ2XHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objRef, SvcJ2XHome.class);
      [/pre]

      but there is a problem casting respectively narrowing the object.. the first statement works and returns an object, but by narrowing I get the following error

      [pre]
      java.lang.ClassCastException
      at com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:293)
      at javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:134)
      at bbt.test.client.GetAllNodesTests.setUp(GetAllNodesTests.java:128)
      at junit.framework.TestCase.runBare(TestCase.java:138)
      at junit.framework.TestResult$1.protect(TestResult.java:106)
      at junit.framework.TestResult.runProtected(TestResult.java:124)
      at junit.framework.TestResult.run(TestResult.java:109)
      [/pre]

      Is this a JBoss-problem or am I doing something wrong??

      Thanx in advance,
      gimi

          You shouldn't be casting the return value of initial.lookup("SvcJ2X")

          Try this:

          (Assuming that objRef of type Object, and svcJ2XHome of type SvcJ2XHome, have been previously declared)

          objRef = initial.lookup("SvcJ2X");
          svcJ2XHome = (SvcJ2XHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objRef, SvcJ2XHome.class);

            Ok, scrub that - I've just re-read your message, and see that the ClassCastException occurs on the PortableRemoteObject.narrow. Any chances that what is bound to SvcJ2X is not what you're expecting?

              Anybody can help this?(I am using Jboss3.0.2)

              Object objref = ctx.lookup("Register");
              RegisterHome home = (RegisterHome) javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objref, RegisterHome.class);

                ClassCastException:

                The problem happends when I update my servlet without modifying EJB files, and re-deploy my ear file.

                If I re-start JBOSS server, everything works fine now.

                  Don't need narrowing in JBoss. Not sure this will fix problem, but try:

                  SvcJ2XHome home = (SvcJ2XHome)initial.lookup ("SvcJ2X");
