Santosh, You should not include the JAR that contains the interface in the classpath of the two bundles. You should make it into a third bundle and use Import-Package to depend on the interface.
When a class is defined independently by two or more classloaders, the resulting classes are considered by the JVM to be different, even if they have exactly the same name and are defined from the same bytes on disk. Therefore you cannot cast an instance of one type into a field of the other.
