OK, if you had that before I asked my question, I think that explains
why you get the Hello ClassCastException.  You chose to put your
Hello interface in the net.jini.core package (normally we've reserved
the net.jini namespace for standards, BTW).  The preferred list above
will force the client to always download the Hello interface into a
new class loader, rather than resolving to the existing Hello interface
in your class path.

If you look at the net.jini.loader.pref package documentation, it says
that the public API classes of your service (like Hello interface)
should not be preferred, while implementation classes (like HelloServer)
should be preferred.
