I try to reach a session bean remotly.

The code is rather simple:

InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Object o = ctx.lookup("DummyBean");

o.getClass().getName()

tells me that this object imlements the NamingContext interface.

All howtos explain that a simple cast to the remote Interface should be enough. But whenever i try to cast to DummyBean it fails with a ClassCastException.

When i use the same .ejb3 deployment with glassfish it works well without any hassles.

Differences i noticed between jboss and glassfish:
When i lookup to glassfish the syntax is ctx.lookup("thetest.DummyBean");

But with jboss it seems like its ctx.lookup("DummyBean") works.

When i try to cast the glassfish object to the RemoteInterface it works well. But when i try to cast the jboss object to the remote interface or to the bean itself it simple fails.

The deployment line from the logfile:

15:48:23,625 INFO [Ejb3AnnotationHandler] found EJB3: ejbName=DummyOneBean, class=thetest.DummyOneBean, type=STATELESS

Im quite new to jboss, so help would be really great

thx
