Hello folks,

I spend a few days now to find a solution to my problem, but I had no success. I have implemented two EntityBeans (PartyBean and SecurityDataBean). Both have remote and local interfaces. PartyBean references SecurityDataBean. I used XDoclet to generate the interfaces and the deployment descriptors. I also wrote Cactus tests. These tests run inside the server JVM trying to access the remote home interface and the local home interface. The PartyBean tests pass successfully. Both home interfaces of PartyBean can be accessed. But SecurityDataBean's test trying to access the local home interface fails.

To me this is strange because the EntityBeans are trivial and implemented similar. The generated deployment descriptors look good, too. The generated utility classes contain the code for getting the home interfaces. This code uses the JNDI names to do the lookup.

The deployment is done via an ear-archive containing a war-archive (containing the test classes) and a jar-archive (containing the EntityBeans and DD).

The failing test throws the following exception:

javax.naming.CommunicationException [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jboss.ejb.plugins.local.LocalHomeProxy (no security manager: RMI class loader disabled)]

The complete stack trace as well as the source code is attached to this topic. I also tried to add jboss.jar to WEB-INF/lib. But this did not help. What really confuses me is the fact that the source code of the tests are similar in structure.
Can anybody help me? Thank you in advance...

Ingo
