I have the following excerpt in my ejb-jar file:

...
<env-entry>
 <description>A description</description>
 <env-entry-name>someName</env-entry-name>
 <env-entry-type>java.lang.Character</env-entry-type>
 <env-entry-value>B</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
...

When I look this up using the following code, I get a ClassCastException:

char ch = ((Character)context.lookup("someName")).charValue();

I used a debugger and the class type is coming back as java.lang.String! Ooops! Easy work-arounds I know, but wondered if I was the only one seeing this or if we have a small bug in Jboss (3.2.3)???
