Naming.Lookup problem

[Alex Sbityakov]

On the client-side I issue the following call to get a reference for the RemoteConnectionFactory which returns instances of DataInterface.
This is the line that generates the exception.
RemoteConnectionFactory rcf = (RemoteConnectionFactory)Naming.lookup("rmi://localhost:1099/ConnectionFactory");

Has anyone else encountered this before?

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: suncertify.server.RemoteConnectionFact
ory_Stub

[Mark Spritzler]

Yes, I did. Because you really want to cast it to the interface, not the actual class. Because you are getting stub from the registry, and therefore it implements the interface, but it is not of the class type that you are casting it too.
Does this make sense?
Hope it helps
