I'm having a similar problem with an application that I am porting from Geronimo 1.0 to the 1.1-rc1 snapshot. There are references (tried both ejb-ref remote references and ejb-local-ref local references) in my webapp that refer to EJBs deployed in another ear within Geronimo. This worked perfectly fine in Geronimo 1.0, but is now not working at all in Geronimo 1.1-rc1 with the same ClassCastException referred in the previous message. Please let me know if there is some other way to allow classes in my webapp to refer to a locally deployed EJB that exists in another ear within Geronimo. If there is no workaround, then I am anxiously awaiting a resolution to this issue in Geronimo 1.1.
Thanks for your guys hard work, Rick Sears
