I have a client

package com.synesis7.mcsi3.admin.versioncontrol.submitepdr.entity.client;

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;
import com.synesis7.mcsi3.admin.versioncontrol.submitepdr.entity.interfaces.*;
import java.util.*;

public class EntityClient {

public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"iiop://127.0.0.1:3700");

//get naming context
Context context = new InitialContext(env);

//look up jndi name
Object ref = context.lookup(ChangeDocsEntityHome.JNDI_NAME); //JNDI_NAME remote
//Object ref = context.lookup("ejb/ChangeDocsEntityHome"); //JNDI_NAME remote

//look up jndi name and cast to Home interface
ChangeDocsEntityHome home = (ChangeDocsEntityHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,ChangeDocsEntityHome.class);
//ChangeDocsEntityLocalHome home = (ChangeDocsEntityLocalHome)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(ref,ChangeDocsEntityLocalHome.class);

Integer value = new Integer("1");
ChangeDocsEntity hl = home.findByPrimaryKey(value);
//ChangeDocsEntityLocal hl = home.findByPrimaryKey(value);
System.out.println("notes = " + hl.getNotes());
System.out.println("reason change = " + hl.getReasonChg());
System.out.println("recommendataion = " + hl.getRecommendation());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("Exception e = " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}

When I run in debug i get java.lang.ClassCastException at the narrow statement. The Exception e = null. I am running with SunApServ 8 with Eclipse 3.0.1. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Why dont you do a System.out.println on "ref" and see if the JNDI lookup is actually returning an object.
If it does retun an object, the output might give you an idea of what it has returned
