ClassCastException in stateless session bean using j2sdkee1.3.1

Hello folks,

I have written a simple stateless session bean supposed to display 'Hello
World' at the console when called by client .I am using jdk1.3.1_03 and
j2sdkee1.3.1.
I can deploy the bean using J2EE RI successfully .When I write a client and
call the bean I get following exception :

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException
        at
com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown
Source)
        at javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(Unknown Source)
        at examples.HelloClient.main(HelloClient.java:25)

The source code which is causing this error is :

        Context ctx = new InitialContext(props) ;

        Object obj = ctx.lookup("ejb/Hello") ;

        HelloHome home = null ;

        HelloHome home  =
(HelloHome)javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject.narrow(obj,HelloHome.class) ;

The error points to the last line . I have included '.' in my classpath and
running the client from the command prompt from the root directory of the
bean package .
I have started the j2ee server and deploytool from the same directory by
opening different DOS windows .

Please help me .


Thanks,
Jitesh
