ClassCastException when performing PortableRemoteObject.narrow

[cuinl]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do a lookup to bean:

Object obj = ctx.lookup( "ejb/myPackage/mySessionBeanHome" );
javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow( obj, mySessionBeanHome.class );

and I'm getting the following exception:

Exception in thread "P=874250:O=0:CT" java.lang.ClassCastException: cannot cast class org.omg.stub.java.rmi._Remote_Stub to interface myPackage.mySessionBeanHome
at com.ibm.rmi.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:409 )
at javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:156)
at myPackage.MyClient.main(MyClient.java:73)


I investigated the object that returned from the lookup:

Class Name:
org.omg.stub.java.rmi._Remote_Stub

1)hashCode
2)equals
3)toString
4)connect

How come the lookup not return my home interface?

Thanks,

Strangely, when I narrow the returned object to javax.ejb.EJBObject,
I don't get an exception:

javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow( obj, javax.ejb.EJBObject.class );

As far as I see my deployment descriptor is fine...
