Again, I think I should post my code:<br>
Here is the [B]GENERAL[/B] bean handler class<br><br>[code]
public class BaseBeanHandler
{
private static final boolean DEBUG = true;
/* { <LAZ> Conversion removed all the following}

//Default JNDI context property values
protected static final String DEFAULT_JNDI_CACHE = "cleared";

</LAZ> */
//Member variables
protected String m_JNDIUrl;
protected String m_EJBName;
protected Context m_Context;
protected BaseBeanHandler(String jndiURL, String ejbName)
{
m_JNDIUrl = jndiURL;
m_EJBName = ejbName;
m_Context = null;
}
protected Object getBean(Class homeClass)
throws Exception
{
Object bean = null;

Again, I tried forcing RMI stub usage from importing the old Websphere-generated stubs and naming them exactly as the error message. This did nothing to resolve the problem. I've isolated the issue down to the statement shown above as to where the problem resides. From what I can tell, it is in the assignment of the RETURNED portion of the statement where the exception occurs where the object is cast as type [B]CWMManager[/B] and assigned to the holder variable of that type. Again, I must elaborate my ignorance, this is code that works perfectly in Websphere 5.x - but apparently, there is a difference in what is expected in the calling of this bean, passing it from one class to another and assigning it to a holder variable of the type I assume the bean to be. Please help...
