  |  +-Core.jar/ (EJB Project)
  |  | +dvs3.code.session.ChangelistService (java interface that extends 
dvs3.Changelist)
  |  | +dvs3.code.session.ChangelistServiceBean (stlss sess bean that

service via JNDI)

I'm assuming the manifest files are defined correctly since both Core.jar and 
Util.jar are referenced in the WebUI.war manifest file and Util.jar is 
referenced in the Core.jar manifest file.

In the backing bean, I have this piece of code:

    String jndi = "DVS3EAR/ChangelistServiceBean/local";
  |     Object service = new InitialContext().lookup(jndi);
  |     System.out.println(service instanceof ChangelistService) // prints true
  |     System.out.println(service instanceof Changelist)        // prints false
  |     Changelist service = (Changelist) obj;                   // fails with 
a ClassCastException
  | 
Why is this?

At some level, isn't this violating a fundamental java principle? Since 
ChangelistService is a Changelist, why can't I cast the service object to be a 
Changelist, but can cast it to be of type ChangelistService?

Is this some kind of weird (but legal) classloading?
