Dear Professionals...

i created an EJB session bean and deployed it successfully to Websphere 3.5. I created a servlet to access the bean from within Websphere...it worked great. When i created a client application to access the bean, i got the following error:
java.lang.ClassCastException
at com.ibm.ejs.ns.jndi.CNContextImpl.isContextLocalCheck(CNContextImpl.java:1324)

The jar files in the classpath are

C:\VisualCafe\Java2\bin\java -cp Deployedroom.jar;ujc.jar;iioprt.jar;rmiorb.jar;jndi.jar;ejb.jar Client

The lookup file is

import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.NamingException;

public class EJBLookup {

public static EJBHome lookup(String name, Class homeClass, String serverName) {
 try {
     java.util.Properties p = new java.util.Properties();
     p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
            "com.ibm.ejs.ns.jndi.CNInitialContextFactory");
            if (serverName != null) {
                String serverAddress =
                (serverName.length() > 0) ? serverName : "localhost";
                p.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://" + serverAddress + ":900"); //PENDING: Port 900 ??
            }

            InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(p);
javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ic.lookup(name), homeClass);
            Object o = javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ic.lookup(name), homeClass);
            return (EJBHome) o;

        } catch (Throwable e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
    }
}


Can any one help...!!!!
thankx

It won't work without the IBM JDK. I noticed you are using the Cafe JDK. The jars that you need are the ujc and ejs and sslight also if you're using security.

Why, although the code compiles without error.

The ORB is different. The WAS runtime needs the IBM ORB.

Thanks a lot, i did it....
lots of thanks...
