The stock response is to check your classpaths, descriptors, etc. but I
assume you did that. The intervention of a web container occasionally
introduces bizarre introspection class loader side effects. E.g. I
resolved a similar problem by moving the class to a different
package--don't ask me why that worked. Another problem similar to yours
is reported at
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00665.html
. There was no resolution AFAIK, and related problems were reported by
others.
This is not a pat answer to your question, but it could provide a clue.
A start is to fiddle with the introspection--which classes & methods are
discoverable? I am reluctantly arriving at the conclusion that
introspection in servlet invocations is flaky and should be avoided.

Subject: Servlet creating an EJB via reflection troubles
> I'm using VAJava 3.5 and WebSphere 3.5.
> I've asked all our EJB developers to supply a ping() method in any
deployed
> EJB so that we can test remote connectivity.
> I've written a main() method that works fine from within VAJava. Below
is

> I've also written a servlet that is basically identical but gets the

request
> object.
> The strange thing is, I've taken the same exact code, pasted it into a

> Even more strange is that the servlet used to work.
