Why do I get a ClassCastException?

Hello!
I'm playing around with hibernate, axis2 and Weblogic 8.1.6 and I got I really tricky problem.
My Weblogic 8.1.6 got consist of 3 servers.
1 Adminserver (myserver)
1 Managedserver (ejbserver)
1 Managedserver (webserviceserver)
My play_around_example is built around a database called names in a mysql-databas.
To access data I got a package called nameshibernate.jar, that works fine used from an standalone application called namesjavaapplication.jar.
(namesjavaapplication->nameshibernate->database)
I also got an ejb in a packaged called namesejb.jar that uses the nameshibernate.jar. The namesejb.jar is deployed under "Ejb Modules" and the target is "ejbserver". If I call the ejb from my standalone application called namesjavaapplication.jar it works fine.
(namesjavaapplication->namesejb->nameshibernate->database)
I also got an webserviceapplication that uses axis2 in a aar-file called nameswebservice.aar. This application uses the namesejb.jar. The Axis2-server is deployed in the server under "Web Application Modules" and the target is "webserviceserver". In this Axis2-server the nameswebservice.aar is deployed. This i supposed to work like:
(namesjavaapplication->nameswebservice->namesejb->nameshibernate->database)
If I call the webservice from my standalone application called namesjavaapplication.jar I get a calsscast exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot narrow remote object to namesejb.client.NameManagerEJBHome
I really can not find out the problem since it works fine if I go directly to the ejb like:
(namesjavaapplication->namesejb->nameshibernate->database)
Below is the method inside my standalone application that calls the ejb directly.
This is the code that works:
(namesjavaapplication->namesejb->nameshibernate->database)
     public void getNamesEJB() throws Exception
          try
               System.out.println("getNamesEJB start");
               Context context = getWebLogicInitialContext();
               Object object = context.lookup("namesejb/client/NameManagerEJBHome");
               System.out.println("\t1: " + object.getClass().getName());
               Class c = Class.forName("namesejb.client.NameManagerEJBHome");
               System.out.println("\t2: " + c.getName());
               System.out.println("\t3: " + NameManagerEJBHome.class.getName());
               System.out.println("\t4: " + (object instanceof NameManagerEJBHome));
               System.out.println("\tjava.class.version: " + System.getProperty("java.class.version"));
               System.out.println("\tjava.class.path: " + System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
               System.out.println("\tjava.library.path: " + System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
               System.out.println("\tjava.compiler: " + System.getProperty("java.compiler"));
               System.out.println("\tjava.ext.dirs: " + System.getProperty("java.ext.dirs"));
               System.out.println("\tuser.dir: " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));
               System.out.println("\tjava.home: " + System.getProperty("java.home"));
               if(object instanceof namesejb.server.NameManagerSessionBean)
                    System.out.println("\t"+ ((namesejb.server.NameManagerSessionBean)object).getSerialVersionUID() );
               else
                    System.out.println("\tNOT instanceof NameManagerSessionBean");
               NameManagerEJBHome nameManagerEJBHome = (NameManagerEJBHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(object, NameManagerEJBHome.class);
               NameManangerEJBObject nameManangerEJBObject = nameManagerEJBHome.create();
     String nameString = "";
               List names = nameManangerEJBObject.getNames();
     for (int i = 0; i < names.size(); i++)
     Name theName = (Name) names.get(i);
     nameString = nameString + "\n" + theName.getName();
     textAreaEJB.setText(nameString);
          catch(RemoteException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          catch(NamingException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
          catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
From this I get this output:

Below is my methods inside the ejb:
     public void ejbCreate()
          try
               Class c = Class.forName("namesejb.client.NameManagerEJBHome");
               System.out.println("1: " + c.getName());
               System.out.println("2: " + NameManagerEJBHome.class.getName());
               System.out.println("java.class.version: " + System.getProperty("java.class.version"));
               System.out.println("java.class.path: " + System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
               System.out.println("java.library.path: " + System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
               System.out.println("java.compiler: " + System.getProperty("java.compiler"));
               System.out.println("java.ext.dirs: " + System.getProperty("java.ext.dirs"));
               System.out.println("user.dir: " + System.getProperty("user.dir"));
          catch(Exception e)
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
               e.printStackTrace();
     public ArrayList getNames() throws Exception {
          Class c = Class.forName("namesejb.client.NameManagerEJBHome");
          System.out.println("4 " + c.getName());
          NameManager nameManager = new NameManager();
          return nameManager.getNames();
From these methods I get this output from the ejbserver:
1: namesejb.client.NameManagerEJBHome
2: namesejb.client.NameManagerEJBHome

I really can not find out what might be the problem since it works to call tje ejb from a standalone application.
The "same" code executed from a webservice throws the exception.
One strange thing that I notice is that from the standalone the java.class.version gets 50.0 and from the webserver it gets 48.0 But the standalone uses 1.6 when I run it and the Weblogic uses 1.4. (I do not think that weblogic can run with 1.6)
Pretty long thread but I hope for some mercy!
Best regards

  • Why do I get a ClassCastException using JNDI between ears?

    This is an issue that has bothered me for almost a year. It comes up every once in a while and usually I can find a workaround, but I need to understand what is causing the failure.
    Here is the problem description as an abstract example:
    I have two WAR files deployed on WL (8.1 sp3), WarA and WarB.
    In a servlet in WarA, I execute the following:
      Context context = new InitialContext();
      MyObject myObj = new MyObject();
      context.bind("myObject", myObj);Then, in a servlet in WarB, I execute the following, receiving a ClassCaseException on the last line of code:
      Context context = new InitialContext();
      Object obj = context.lookup("myObject");
      MyObject myObj = (MyObject)obj;  //ClassCastException!!Of course I have deployed MyObject.class in a jar file inside the WEB-INF/lib of each WAR.
    I understand that each WAR file uses a seperate ClassLoader, but I do not understand why the object's class is not recognized when it is retrieved. I have tried several debugging methods (obj.getClass().getName() or halting execution using a debugger and looking at the object's class signature). In every instance the classname looks correct, exactly as I would expect it to, but the ClassCastException is thrown anyways.
    In the past I have "copped out" by creating an EAR, putting both WARs in the EAR, and adding the jar containing MyObject to the APP-INF/lib.
    Unfortunately the most recent occurrence of this problem is more complex and I do not have the luxury of my standard workaround. Can someone please fill in the blanks of what elementary concept I am overlooking?
    Thanks
    JB

    I don't think the classloader-structure tag is exactly what I am looking for. Based on the documentation I reviewed on the edocs site, that solution appears to make sense if you are manipulating numerous classloaders within a specific ear.
    I suppose you could try to use the classloader-structure to reference a classloader from a seperate application, but the docs do not indicate that this is a possibility. Moreover, it seems dangerous and potentially very confusing.
    Ultimately, I think this boils down to a lesson for me about classloaders. Unless someone can tell me otherwise, I am ready to concede that you cannot access/cast an object that you have bound to the JNDI tree in one application from within any other application. The notable exception to this rule is the scenario where the class type to which you are casting is a class that is loaded by the system classloader.
    This makes some sense to me - each standalone war or ear is independent of other wars/ears deployed on the app server. But, it is also somewhat frustrating because you cannot share global services across a suite of applications via JNDI unless you bundle them all as a single ear.

  • Why do i get f4 on field in alv report  ?

    i done general (MM) alv report
    And i display "MATKL" (Material Group) in one of the column.
    I don't know why, but when i stand on the data  , i get f4 option
    , when i asking for f4 i get message, u201CNo input help is availableu201D.
    In the definition, I didnu2019t put the matkl original data element  ,
    I just put char9, i didnu2019t ask/build and double click or
    Event for it.
    so why do i get f4 option in this column  ?
    thanks  .

    Ajay said the correct answer...
    chech this sample code:
    CLEAR  wa_catalog.
      wa_catalog-fieldname = 'BANFN'.
      wa_catalog-ref_table = 'EBAN'.
      APPEND wa_catalog TO catalog.

  • Why do we get the data from a view to a report.

    hi
    why do we get the data from a view to a report. is it possible to get the data from a view in all the cases?

    hi Jyotssna,
      Suppose you are planning to get the data from multiple tables then you got to specify seveal condtions and make use of joins which results in poor performance in fetching the data . In order to improve the performance we make use of views where the conditions of different tables are defined and the data is fetched accordingly.

  • Why would I get ReferenceError #1065: "Variable title is not defined."

    Well of course it's not defined.  It's a dynamic class, and strict mode compilation is turned off so that I don't have to declare the property to compile it.
    I've created a library item named "Page" with a single TextField instance named "title".
    Page's class is defined in an ActionScript file, and it's assigned to the library item in export for ActionScript.
    Page's ActionScript file defines the class as a "dynamic" class, so I should not be getting this runtime error.  I turned off strict mode compiling, since it seems to be designed to check the presense of property definitions at compile time for dynamic classes like MovieClip.
    public dynamic class Page extends MovieClip
        public function Page()
            super();
            var text:String = title.text; //title can be moused over in the debugger here and shows the correct value, but the flash player throws a runtime error when it tries to access it, but it shouldn't because this is a dynamic class.
    So why am I getting a runtime error for the field "title".  It makes no sense, because if I step to that line in the FlashDevelop debugger and hold the mouse over "title", it shows that it is in fact the instance of the TextField that I'm trying to access.  Yet the player throws an error when I actually try to access it.
    Is it a problem or limitation with the access style (i.e. would it work fine if I accessed it as "this.title" or "this["title"]"?

    Nevermind.  This was apparently a browser caching issue.   The Page base class is defined in the main interface swf, and is externally referenced through its swc in an external "lesson" file that declare a subclass of Page.  It was this custom subclass of Page which was throwing the error (basically the same as the simplified example I wrote for my post, where it simply tried to access "title" as a dynamic property of the Page).  What happened is the browser was caching an old version of the lesson file with the old definition of the class that was not declared as dynamic.  I had received the error before, then updated the class, then I was surprised to see the error persist.  It suddenly dawned on me that the browser was probably caching the old version, so I cleared the cache and it seems to work fine now.
    Actually, it is a problem after all.  I forgot I had updated it to use "this.title" syntax on the page I tested after clearing the cache, but the other pages that try to access title directly as "title" still throw the error.  So it seems to be some sort of quirk in how flash accesses properties of a dynamic class.  If you try to access them direclty, it must do so in a way that requires the property to be defined, but if you access it via "this.title" or this["title"], the it seems to resolve the property value without throwing the error.
    This sucks.  I was really trying to not have to write "this." for every property.  The entire display list is dynamically generated from some custom XML that allows me to call constructors and set complex type-safe properties, and during construction it was copying each item into a Dictionary by name.  This Dictionary was then assigned to the page class as "items", so I was accessing each display object as "item.name".  Then I got the brilliant idea of just making Page and its subclasses "dynamic" so that I could just add the DIctionary values on the Page instance itself.  I thought I would be able to access the dyamic properties just by their name such as "title", but lo and behold, Flash strikes again, and I have to use dot notation anyway.  What do you all think?  Any solutions?

    I placed an order to upgrade my phone yesterday, and the order went through, I was told the new phone would arrive Thursday. After I got home from work today I saw an email from Verizon that says "Dear Customer:
    Verizon Fraud Prevention Team is currently reviewing the following order on your wireless account. Please call the Verizon Fraud Prevention Team at 888-483-7200 option 3, press 1 to verify this Order."
    I called this number immediately, since I need this phone ASAP, assuming it would just be a recording and I would have to verify an account number or something. But instead, after following the instructions, I was put on hold because I needed to speak to someone in person. After several instances of my call being cut off after being on hold for at least half an hour, I finally got through after three hours and was able to speak to a fraud representative. I gave her my info and told her the problem and she told me I had called the wrong department. Instead of the fraud department, I needed the online order department. She transferred me, and I waited on hold again. When the representative from the online order dept picked up, she first told me if it was a fraud issue I'd need to speak with the fraud dept - who had JUST transferred me to her. After this, she said that my order is not on hold, because it hasn't even been processed yet or had the credit check done. When I asked if this meant I hadn't needed to call at all, she said yes. Is this actually true or is there a chance that there's an issue with my order I don't know about? If there is no issue, these emails really shouldn't be sent out, they're incredibly misleading, and I've wasted a whole lot of time and experienced an incredible amount of anxiety for no reason.

    Hi.  I checked on the order and it says the order is currently being processed and I should check back tomorrow. I'm mostly just concerned because I got an email saying the order was on hold, and I want to make sure it actually does go through and I'm not just waiting for a delivery that's not going to come. I'm still confused as to why I'd get an email saying I had to call the fraud department only to be told I shouldn't have called the fraud department.

  • TS1702 "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

    Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
    After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

  • Why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page?

    why do I get a black screen when i click on a PDF in a web page? Firefox works as is should.

    Hi,
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari. Try a PDF file.
    If it's not Extensions, open a Finder window. Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Internet Plug-Ins folder. If you see any files such as this:
    AdobePDF Browser or Viewer Plug-in
    Move it to the Trash, relaunch Safari.

    Those are standard mail headers, but they are normally hidden. Shift-command-H should turn them off or on for the current message. I don't know how that setting got stuck on for you, though.

    You actually cannot do anything to your ipad when its locked but look at pictures the time and date, you need to restore it, and if it dosent let you restore, good luck chuck Heres how to restore it: Okay, i only know the itunes way soz, lol. Try to connect your ipad to itunes, if it does let you then you should be able to select the device you have in the corner somewhere, once you do that you should see a screen that looks sort of like your ipads setting, you should have a button that says "Restore" click that and your ipad should be restored. If that dosent work you should try going to your regular office depot or something. Good Luck!

  • Why do I get the movies only in english?

    As a new Apple TV user this might be a stupid question for pros on Apple TV. Nevertheless, why do I get the movies which I wanted to receive in the German version only in the English version. I make my choice in the German iTunes-Store, I watch the trailers in German, but when I order the movie, I get it only in English. Am I stupid or what?
    Thanks for your help.
    Hartwin

    Hartwin, that's odd. Does this happen with every movie you've rented?
    And do you perhaps have a US iTunes account that you're using to order from?
    Other than that, I really can't think of an answer.
