ClassCastException in generated code

2002-05-15 Thread Tim Joyce

Hi,

I am getting a rather nasty ClassCastException when i try and remove a
many-to-many join (implemented like the MovieDatabase example). My question
is how do i go about debugging this? Is it possible to get access to the
generated .java files?

Thanks in advance for any advice

stack traces follow (sorry)

cheers

RE: ClassCastException in generated code

2002-05-15 Thread Greg Davis

Did you change your bean recently? It sounds like your remotes are out of
date. Ensure you remotes on the client side match up properly.  Also ensure
any Serialiazable classes you pass via method calls are not updated in only
the client of server.  This error normally happens when you either try to
cast the wrong object (I.e. in Collections this can happen easily if you are
not careful) and serialized objects (when the new class doesn't match up to
the old one).  These will compile fine, but break during runtime.

Without any other information, this is all I can add. 

Hope this helps.

Greg

ClassCastException while doing REMOTE ejb lookup from a web module

2002-04-08 Thread kkvarfordt

Hi,

I am getting a ClassCastException when I try to narrow a lookup on a 
remote stateless session bean from a jsp page.  My configuration is 
orion 1.5.4 with an application for the remote stateless session bean 
and an application for the web module.  For testing purposes, I am 
running under the same instance of orion.  Below is a snippet of code 
from the jsp page accessing the remote ejb.

%
KBKTestHome kbkHome = null;
KBKTest kbkTest = null;
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
Context jndi = null;

env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory);
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
ormi://localhost:23809/kbk-test-application);
env.put(javax.naming.Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, admin); 
env.put(javax.naming.Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, 123); 
jndi = new InitialContext(env);
kbkHome=(KBKTestHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(
jndi.lookup(ejb/test),KBKTestHome.class);
kbkTest = kbkHome.create();
String timeIs = kbkTest.getTime();
%
  
I have modified my orion-application.xml file for the remote ejb to 
allow read and write namespace access to group RMI.  I have also 
modified my principals.xml file for the remote ejb to give the group 
RMI rmi:login permissions.  I beleive I am finding the home 
interface to the remote ejb successfully, but can't seem to cast it 
appropriately.  

I searched the mailing list archives and found a recent reference to 
what appears to be a similar problem
(http://www.mail-archive.com/orion-

resolution to the problem.

Any help is appreciated.

Re: ClassCastException while doing REMOTE ejb lookup from a web module

2002-04-08 Thread Scott Farquhar

Most often this is caused by having a two different compiled versions of 
your class.

Ensure that you have only one copy of the class available to your 
web-application.  If you are using web  ejb in the same container, then 
you can access the classes from the ejb layer in your web app.

This document may help you understand where to put your classes:

AW: ClassCastException with struts

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

hi,

this sounds definitely like having some jars in the wrong place.
you should check for jars and configs in orion/lib that should not 
be there but should be local to each webapp. (WEB-INF/lib)
the struts jar has to be local to each webapp too.
there is no common config area for struts.

Betreff: ClassCastException with struts


Greetings,

  I've been trying Orion and I'm having some problems using multiple 
applications (or copy's from the same application).
  What I have is one application, used (and modified) by some guys.
  So, each one has his own web-app and application and a source / 
library directory.
  The problem seems to be with struts, that always throws a 
ClassCastException when the second application trys to run.
  Without using Struts, everything seems to work fine and each 
application runs separatly. I think that Struts uses some 'common 
area configuration' that can only be created and used by one instance
of a struts.
  Does anyone had the same problem or knows something to help on
that?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English :)

  Having struts locally on each webapp, strutsjar in WEB-INF/lib/
and struts-config in WEB-INF/, allows to run just one application 
without errors (ClassCastException)
  This happens because all struts-config are the same, just running 
under different copies of the application But struts doesn't seem 
to be able to start multiple action-mappings, even running on 
different webapps
  Don't know if you had this working already

ClassCastException while doing REMOTE ejb lookup

2002-01-07 Thread Theo van Niekerk

Hi

I'm doing a REMOTE (not local, not same JVM, not same Orion) lookup from a servlet
running in Orion152 application to an ejb deployed in Orion152 application on a remote
and different physical machine.

I can establish the correct Initial Context and locate the required object.
But this object is loaded in the servlet using a ClassLoader that is
different from the default ClassLoader of the servlet.

The result is a ClassCastException when doing a narrow using this object and
the class as loaded by the default ClassLoader. The narrow works fine when
the object's ClassLoader is used to locate the class to be used for the narrow.
However, it seems that this ClassLoader is then retrieving classes from the remote
machine. Obviously I need the classes also on the web machine accesible by
the default ClassLoader so that classes that depend on these remote
classes can load and JSP's can compile.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Please reply at least to my email.

Junit issues - ClassCastException

2001-09-30 Thread Jens Schumann

Since I saw a question regarding junit and classcastexceptions on this list
(before I subscribed to it) just one pointer for everyone:

Using stock junit for EJB calls you will run into classcastexceptions
because of the custom class loader junit is using. I already asked the junit
guys to put this in their FAQ - I spend way to much time to figure out the
reason.

So, whenever you want to use junit as application client put your
remote/home interfaces in excluded.properties within your junit distribution
or disable the custom class loader.

resurrecting the ClassCastException issue

2001-09-29 Thread Reason


I realize that this has been brought up a few times before, but I haven't
seen any resolution in the archives beyond pointing the finger at
misconfigured configuration files as being the problem.

I'm attempting to run a junit test on an application (I have the main app
and a single application client for testing) and every time I try something
like:

InitialContext jndiContext = new InitialContext();
Object ref  = jndiContext.lookup(java:comp/env/ejb/DynamicWorldObject);

System.out.println(ref.getClass()); // gives me __Proxy1

Object narrow = PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,
DynamicWorldObjectHome.class);
// and in the line above, it throws the ClassCastException

System.out.println(narrow.getClass());

DynamicWorldObjectHome home = (DynamicWorldObjectHome)narrow;
DynamicWorldObject dwo = home.create();

it fails with the ClassCastException thrown.

I've been through my config files, and I'm obviously just not getting
something. It all looks ok to me...I'd appreciate it if someone could
eyeball my files and point out my error:

ClassCastException

2001-09-05 Thread Scott Hamilton, (m)+61-404-280 238


  I have a User class that performs a number of Authentication
  and user maintenace functions using LDAP to our Corporate Directory,
  with the javax.naming.directory package.
  This all works fine and is used by folks from their JSP pages etc
  under Tomcat V3.2.

  I have a Session Bean that I'd like to use this User class from.
  There is a authenticate() and a getUser() method, the getUser()
  as you can imagine returns an instance of the above User class.
  When I compile the code as part of the EJB all is fine, if I use
  the .jar (after moving it into orion/lib/) file then I always get
  the following

R: Has anyone ever solved the ClassCastException problem?

2000-12-08 Thread Montebove Luciano

Hi Dag,

.
My code is the orion-primer example 
(http://www.jollem.com/orion-primer/)
that works inside one machine but fails between two machines.

It works on two different machines. It works also using resin or others
servlet engine for the web side.

 The
orion-primer is a ear with a web application
 that uses a simple EJB.
The code fails in the narrow method below:
...
Context context = new InitialContext();
Object boundObject = context.lookup("Hello");
this line should be: 
Object boundObject = context.lookup "java:comp/env/ejb/Hello");
Are you using a modified version of orion-primer?

Hope this help

RE: Has anyone ever solved the ClassCastException problem?

2000-12-08 Thread Jeff Schnitzer

I have generally found that a ClassCastException (usually nested
three-layers deep in ominous sounding Orion exceptions) usually
indicates a wrong bean (or class) specified in the deployment
descriptor.

For instance, I was tearing my hair out over a ClassCastException I was
getting every time I tried to add an object to a collection which was a
EJB2.0 CMR field.  Turns out the problem was a cut-and-paste error when
I was creating the relationship in the deployment descriptor - the
role-source was a different bean than what I wanted (and specified in
the java code).  Totally obvious now - but at the time, I was looking at
the descriptor, and it "looked right" because all the elements were in
the right place.

I should point out that this would have been caught with a more obvious
message if Orion omitted the cmp-field tag from entity for CMR
fields, like the spec says it should :-)

Hi!

I have got the infamous ClassCastException problem when casting a home
interface got from a context lookup. 

I have seen many mails about this problem on this list, with 
good advice and
hints. But no one saying that it works.

My code is the orion-primer example 
(http://www.jollem.com/orion-primer/)
that works inside one 
machine but fails between two machines. The
orion-primer is a ear with a web application that uses a simple EJB.

The code fails in the narrow method below:

...
Context context = new InitialContext();
Object boundObject = context.lookup("Hello");
HelloHome helloHome = (HelloHome) 
  PortableRemoteObject.narrow(boundObject, HelloHome.class);
...

The EJB works - I can call it using reflection. This proves 
that I have not
made any other mistake. I think this may be a classloader 
problem in the
class produced by the orion RMIInitialContextFactory.

The code above works fine inside a java application.

EJB ClassCastException doesn't make sense..

2000-10-27 Thread Duffey, Kevin

Hey all,

I am getting an error when my serlvet accesses an EJB that in its code is
accessing another ejb. Below I am listing the error, the code and the
ejb-jar.xml file. I am using Orion 1.2.9. I am not sure if this is a bug
with 1.2.9, or why this would be happening. I took code snippets from an EJB
1.1 book and I have been looking over my code, xml, etc several times and it
all appears to be correct..so I am not sure why this is happening.

From what I have read, it appears that when an EJB needs to use another,
whether its an entity or session, it does the same code that a servlet would
do to access an EJB..it does a JNDI lookup. IS this correct? Also, from what
I have read, it appears that when an ejb uses another, you need to set the
ejb-ref tags in the first ejb, so it can "see" the other ejb. Is this
correct? Did I do this correctly in my snippet below (ejb-jar.xml)? If I am
only referencing the Test ejb from the first ejb (Login), do I need to
define the Test ejb in the ejb-jar.xml as well, as I have done?

So my problem is..why am I getting a ClassCastException when trying to
execute the login() method? Oh..I did narrow down the line of code in the
EJB LoginBean to where it does the PortableRemoteObject.narrow() call on the
Test bean. The snippet line is:

TestHome th = (TestHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref, TestHome.class);

This is where the exception is thrown. If I comment out the few lines the
LoginBean does to get the Test..their is no exception thrown and the
LoginBean ejb works fine. So it is definitely with it trying to get the Test
EJB.

Thanks for any help..

Title: RE: EJB ClassCastException problem





Thanks Karl. I missed the parent attribute because I've been looking at older docs in my
1.2.9 install area which don't have it. Maybe it was put in since 1.2.9. The udated docs
on orionserver.com contain the parent attribute.


I probably should've been more clear in my response. I really wasn't trying to say the concept
of application namespace domains was a limitation in of itself. It does make sense. I was really trying
to say that if you can't access or share components across apps, then that would be a limitation. The
parent attribute looks like that will do what we want. I'll try it out. Hopefully my ejb-refs
will work as well.

Hello Erin,


Look at
http://www.orionserver.com/docs/auto/attributes/parent_(server.xml_-_application).html


The parent attribute is used for exactly what you want, a child application sees
the objects of its parents, so you can have an application hierarchy where you
have shared EJBs in the root node and more specialized in the children. By
default every application has the global application as their parent (just like
all Java classes inherit java.lang.Object).


Example:


application name=utils path=../applications/utils.ear auto-start=true/
application name=webshop path=../applications/webshop.ear auto-start=true
parent=utils/


(This is in server.xml btw)


The rationale behind having a domain/application based JNDI tree is the same as
the rationale behind OO. You want to hide the different applications from
eachother, so that they don't interfere with eachother.


This is especially useful when you deploy 3rd party applications or in hosting
environments when an Orion instance is possibly shared between more than one
user.

server.  When I call the  PortableRemoteObject.narrow(..) method, it
throws the exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: StampHome_EntityHomeWrapper1

Below is what I have in my code...

Hashtable env = new Hashtable();

env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.evermind.server.rmi.RMIInitialContextFactory");

env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"ormi://p500.cheapdull.mine.nu/stamp");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,"admin");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,"123");

context = new InitialContext(env);


Object boundObject = context.lookup("Stamp");
stamph = (stamp.ejb.StampHome)
PortableRemoteObject.narrow(boundObject, stamp.ejb.StampHome.class);
 
I tried to print the class name of 'boundObject' out, and it is
stamp.ejb.StampHome (the correct home interface).

I have search through the past posts in this mailing list, and read
that some people said it is a bug in orion...is it true?  or did I do
something silly there?

Any suggestion much appreciated.

Regards, James.





ClassCastException.

Title: RE: EJB 2.0 status.



When 
we check in servlets from SourceSafe into the "servlet-container" we get 
ClassCastException on some other support class. And that happends every time. I 
suppose that is because our supporting class gets reloaded by the servlet 
classloader even though it is already loaded by some other classloader. It's 
really anyoing since the only way that I can think of around this problem is to 
restart the application server.

ClassCastException

2000-07-26 Thread Martin Wells

Hi all,

Another quick question.

I have a globally allocated (application scope) bean that manages my
dbconnection pooling system. I've been seeing a lot of
"java.lang.ClassCastException: DBConnectionPool". When I'm doing development
on various jsp's and beans that utilise this as an include (e.g.
jsp:useBean id="dbConnection" class="DBConnectionPool"
scope="application"(.

Basically nothing will work after I see this until the server is restarted.
Hints on why this is happening would be appreciated.
