Accessing XI Repository Beans

Question

Hi,
I'm going to query some of the Session stateless beans from XI like sap.com/com.sap.xi.directory/DirQueryServiceBean.
This gives an object of com.sap.aii.ib.sbeans.query.QueryServiceHome_Stub. I can only cast this object to a QueryServiceHome object, which has a create method. The create method on QueryServiceHome return a  remote object.
Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);
// Look up an object
Object obj = ctx.lookup(name);
// Print it
out.println(name + " is bound to: " + obj + " type " + obj.getClass());
QueryServiceHome home= (QueryServiceHome) obj;
out.println("-home found-");
QueryServiceHome_Stub stub = (QueryServiceHome_Stub)home.create();
I get -home found- printed, but the I get at ClassCastException.
Does any body have an answert to how I can get access to the bean and query it for information.

Hi Daniel,
In general, when you want to use some application, at least you must have the classes that you access in your client's classpath. That is how it works. Otherwise, can you explain me how you have access to the QueryServiceHome interface but not to the QueryService interface?
In particular in your case you must find the application "com.sap.xi.directory" and include its jars in your client's classpath. Then proceed as already described.
Best regards,
Vladimir
