This explains why you have to leave it blank, everything is found relative to the class directory Tutorial/bin.

I am sure that I am beating a dead horse with this, but...

Following the tutorial for 1.4 to the letter with the exception of using the new Standard Packaging Entries for ear's, war's and jar's (modified to gather the appropriate classes) and dropping a MANIFEST.MF into META-INF.

I run into the ClassCast Exception

on windows XP sp 2

JDK 1.5.6
JBoss 4.0.3sp1
JBoss-IDE 1.5RC1

but not under linux (2.6.11)

JDK 1.5.2
JBoss 4.0.3sp1
JBoss-IDE 1.5RC1

This isn't an apples to apples comparison, but the approach and handling by IDE's and JBoss should be equal b/t systems.

What gives? Is it the JDK version?

Could you paste the entire exception so we can get a better idea of where it is occuring?

How do we get away from the ClassCastException when the war isn't packaged inside the ear? Anybody have any insight here yet?

I tried removing the WEB-INF/classes and Changing URL be "java:com/env/ejb/Fibo".

But it is still giving me the same error.

Can anybody help?

I changed the Isolated property to false inside the ear-deployer.xml. I also needed to modify the classloader options in the file jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml. There is a flag UseJBossWebLoader and Java2ClassLoadingCompliance that I believe affect classloading. I changed these to false. I'm not completely sure what affect this can have, only that I can now deploy a war outside of my ear and get them to play nice again. Hope this helps to at least point somebody in the right direction.

This solution worked.. Now the whole project is running.. Thank you for this posting =)

check this out: JBossIDE Tutorial 1.4, page 34, section 9.3, start from 3rd paragraph.

Verify if you followed this tutorial and notice the 6th paragraph where it says:

"The classes must be located under the WEB-INF/classes of the War package. Set the prefix to WEB-INF/classes."

You can try to remove the entry on Prefix, it should be blank, and try to run Packaging again and re-deploy your FiboApp.ear and try Fibo again.

Hopes this help. Mine is now working after 3 days of almost on the brink of insanity.

My current config:

OS: WXP SP4
JBossIDE: JBossIDE-1.5M1-jre15-win32.zip
Java: 1.5.0_3

The only workaround works for my env (JBoss 4.0.3 SP1 & jdk 1.5.0_06) is
Object ref = context.lookup("ejb/Fibo");

Removing WEB-INF/classes from packaging configuration doesn't work for me at all.
