Hello forum,

I deployed a web application into JBoss 4.2.2 GA, and in this web application, a managed bean will have access to a EJB session bean (remote interface) deployed in the same JBoss server, but I got this error:

ERROR [STDERR] java.lang.ClassCastException
20:01:44,775 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:229)

20:01:44,804 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sun.corba.se.impl.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:212)

The code to get the session bean handler:

Properties env = new Properties( );
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "guest");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "guest");
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jboss.security.jndi.JndiLoginInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "jnp://localhost:1099");

Context jndi = new InitialContext(env);
Object ref = jndi.lookup("MyBean/remote");
instance = (MyBeanRemote) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, MyBeanRemote.class);

I can get "ref" from Context, just get error when narrow it. And with the same code deployed to tomcat, it works fine.

I wonder whether anyone has met with this problem or can see some error in my code.

Thanks a lot in advance!
