Stand-alone ConverterClient (any one successful ???? :-( )

Question

Hi,
I have been trying to run the ConverterClient as a stand-alone application.
After going through several previous responses, I tried various techniques
without any success. The sample code and error message are listed below:
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.setProperty (Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
prop.setProperty (Context.PROVIDER_URL,"iiop://<ip address>:1050");
prop.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "guest");
prop.setProperty(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "guest123");
Context initial = new InitialContext(prop);
Objectct objref = initial.lookup("MyConverter");
Error Message:
===========
java.lang.ClassCastException
at com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Porta
bleRemoteObject.java:291)
at javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(PortableRemoteObject.java:132)
at ConverterClient.main(ConverterClient.java:44)
Environment:

jsdk1.3.1

Thanks a lot Sriram. I spent a whole lot of time trying to understand the problem.
The error reason was: The ConverterClient.class file in jar file and local directory
were not same. By re-creating the jar file, the problem was solved.
