Hello, has anyone tried the tutorial from this site that shows you how to create and deply a simple EAR (ejb + servlet) to JBoss via the Eclipse IDE ?

It all seems to work fine for me apart from where the servlet looks up the home object for the EJB in the init() method.

I get a ClassCast Exception on the 3rd line below

Context context = new InitialContext();
Object ref = context.lookup("java:comp/env/ejb/Fibo");
home = (FiboHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, FiboHome.class);

on the last line above - the entries in the xml deployment desciptors look fine

web.xml...

<ejb-ref >
<![CDATA[Reference to the Fibo EJB]]>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/Fibo</ejb-ref-name>
<ejb-ref-type>Session</ejb-ref-type>
tutorial.interfaces.FiboHome
tutorial.interfaces.Fibo
</ejb-ref>

jboss-web.xml...

<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/Fibo</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/Fibo</jndi-name>
</ejb-ref>

the JNDI name is ejb/Fibo (from the jboss,xml) so I can't see the problem.

Can anyone help ?
