Hello,

I'm writing a JBoss JCA Adapter, and I have a strange ClassCastException in the client EJB code.

Here's the situation (in the EJB)
1. Look up JCA Connection via JNDI - OK.
Object returned is a ConnectionFactory (store as connFact)
2. Examine ConnectionFactory in debugger
ConnectionFactory is really my own connection Factory implementation
(let's call it FooConnectionFactory)
in debugger, if I evaluate
(connFact instanceof FooConnectionFactory)
- answer is TRUE.
3. I now cast connFact to type FooConnectionFactory.
FooConnectionFactory myConnFact = (FooConnectionFactory)connFact;

At this point, I get a ClassCastException!
But this doesn't jive:
- in the debugger, connFact is really a FooConnectionFactory.
- casting *in the debugger* works too!

Does anyone have any idea on what might be going wrong? An educated guess is some JBoss classloading issue - but it's just a guess.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks
