Hi,

I have done remote lookup using the RMIInitialContextFactory from a Thread program.

I am able to get the JNDI object(Object obj=context.lookup("abc");), but unable to type cast it to the home object type. When i type cast using PortableRemoteObject.narrow() it throws a ClassCastException.

Can anyone pls help me out for this problem.

Thanx in advance

Try printing out what the actual class is:

System.out.println(obj.getClass().getName());

Hi,

My actual Home interface is ABCHome but what it returns from the PortableRemoteObject.narrow is ABCJndiEJBHome.

Any clue for this one.

If sounds like you are getting the auto-generated stub for your home interface (which should be correct). Here are some more debugging ideas:

1. Try printing out the interfaces of the ABCJndiEJBHome so make sure that in fact it implements your ABCHome interface.

Class[] interfaces = obj.getClass().getInterfaces();
for (int i=0; i<interfaces.length, i++) {
    System.out.println(interfaces[i].getName());
}

2. Double check your configuration information in your ejb-jar.xml file to make sure you are specifying the home interface correctly.

Beyond that, I have not got a clue.

Hi,

The same code when i try to use it in an Application Client works fine for me.
I use ApplicationInitialContextFactory instead of RMIInitialContextFactory.
This works fine and i am able to handle with the EJB.
