Problems with MQ after WAS upgrade

[supersizeme]

Ran into a snag. I applied FixPak4 to my WebSphere 3.5 installation and my MQSeries application no longer works correctly even though it worked fine before the upgrade.

I had version 5.1.2 of the MQSeries classes for Java and JMS when it worked fine. I had those installed after it failed to work succeeding the WAS upgrade. I have since upgraded to version 5.2 of the MQSeries classes, but this didn't help.

I can connect to my initialcontext, but now when I go to look something up, I get a ClassCastException. IBM actually had a FAQ entry on this and said to use the narrow method instead of a direct cast, my code never gets past the lookup... and based on the stack dump, I believe the error is coming internally (com.ibm.rmi.iiop.Connection).

My queues are all correct and setup fine as this code has worked before.

Here is a snippet of my code:

java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
props.setProperty(javax.naming.InitialContext.PROVIDER_URL, "iiop://localhost/"
props.setProperty(
javax.naming.InitialContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.ibm.ejs.ns.jndi.CNInitialContextFactory"
javax.naming.InitialContext ic = new javax.naming.InitialContext(props);

Object o = ic.lookup("jms/Samples/QCF_NoTrans"

QueueConnectionFactory qcf = (QueueConnectionFactory)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(o, QueueConnectionFactory.class);


The error will occur on the lookup. It will also occur if I lookup any object even one I freshly created.


Here is the stack dump:
