ClassCastException while looking up Home

Question

I have created a CMP Customer Bean, whose persistence fields are ID(PK), name, password and address inside the package navin.ejb.ecommerce.
The bean has been deployed successfully.
Now I have made an Login servlet also in the same package which allows login to customers whose name and password match with those in the database.
But in the init() method when I lookup the bean, it gives the ClassCastException. The lookup should return a class of type navin.ejb.ecommerce.CustomerHome but it gives error as:
java.lang.ClassCastException: navin.ejb.ecommerce.CustomerBeanHomeImpl_ServiceStub
Can anyone tell me the possible solution. I am using Weblogic.

Hello Navin,
Try this out
Object obj = ctx.lookup(<bean_jndi_name>);
CustomerHome home = (CustomerHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj, CustomerHome.class)
Also checkout the JNDI tree of the server, so that you are sure that teh name you are looking for in the lookup method is bound to the bean you want.
Hope this helps.
regards,
Abhishek.
