Hello Friends
 I am facing a problem in coding a jsp which has to contact a deployed ejb bean.
The bean has a JNDI Name as "authentication"

In the JSP Code , I have written the following lines:
*****************************************************
        Context ct = new InitialContext(h);
        Object obj = ct.lookup("authentication");
     System.out.println("After the JNDI Lookup");

VinayHome home = (VinayHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,VinayHome.class);

*****************************************************
Code is executed till the statement mentioned above
"After the JNDI Lookup"
After that line of code, when I am trying to type cast the object in to a HomeInterface , the message thrown on the server console is:
******************************
java.lang.ClassCastException
******************************
Is this a wrong way of communicating with the ejb bean?
Please help me out regarding this aspect.

Try this out

VinayHome home = (VinayHome) ctx.lookup("authentication");
VinayRemote VRemote = home.create(..);

VinayRemote is your remote interface.

This works for me.
