The reason you're getting an exception is because the collection of Strings
you return from your EJB method is not the same collection that the client
receives. The client receives a collection of your EJB's remote interface
class, and that is the class to which you should cast the results.
Remember that it is the EJB container (Orion) which calls your EJB methods,
not the client. Orion receives your String collection and uses it to create
a collection of EJBs which are returned to the client code.
