Hi,

I deploy EAR1(includes 1 EJB-JAR) and EAR2(includes 1 WAR).loader-repository is sepalated by using jboss-app.xml.EJB-JAR's jboss.xml is configured with ByValueInvokerInterceptor for "call-by-value".

In EJBClient(=WAR), InitialContext is instantiated without any argument.

When I put jndi.properties into WAR,

### jndi.properties ###
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099
java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
################

works fine.

But, without jndi.properties,
(I know, it results java.naming.provider.url=null)
I get the familiar ClassCastException.

java.lang.ClassCastException
at com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:293)

at testservlet.TestServlet.doGet(TestServlet.java:50)
at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740)
...

It looks like "java.naming.provider.url=null" forces JBoss to ignore the "call-by-value" setting.
Is this an expected behavior?
