JBOSS: Class java.lang.ClassCastException in EJB3.0 lookup

[Harish Koushik]

Hi All,

I'm trying to invoke a sample HelloBean EJB 3.0 in JBOSS 4.2.2. But getting following error
-------------------ERROR -----------------
11:20:53,187 WARN [RequestProcessor] Unhandled Exception thrown: class java.lang.ClassCastException
11:20:53,187 ERROR [[action]] Servlet.service() for servlet action threw exception
java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy63 cannot be cast to examples.session.stateless.Hello
------------------------------------------
EJB jar file deployment was successful.

Trying to lookup in my servlet as shown below, which throws above stated error

Hello hello = (Hello) ctx.lookup("HelloBean/remote");

However, on calling
System.out.println("--->"+ctx.lookup("HelloEJB/remote"));
outputs
--->jboss.j2ee:jar=firstEJB3.jar,name=HelloEJB,service=EJB3

It is unable to cast it to the Remote interface.

Can anyone help me?.

Thanks in advance

You probably have the EJB interfaces in more than one place. One in the WAR and the other in the JAR. Remove the one in the WAR file.

Hi Jaikiran,
It worked after removing the ejb remote interface from war folder and my setting the EJB jar in the classpath.

Thanks for your help
