Problems using SOAP to call EJBs

[Robert Pollina <ro...@sun.com>]

I've installed SOAP and have the addressbook example running fine.

I'm trying to setup an example where I can use SOAP to call an
EJB.  I am currently getting the following error:

Client Side:
===========
  Fault Code   = SOAP-ENV:Server
  Fault String = Error in connecting to EJB

Server Side:
===========
In TemplateProvider.locate()
URI: urn:stringprovider
DD.ServiceClass: org.apache.soap.providers.StatelessEJBProvider
DD.ProviderClass: null
Call.MethodName: concat
Exception caught: java.lang.ClassCastException
GXDSYNC_MSG_UPDATE_ACCSTIME to be sent
GXDSStringList::Pack() m_count=1
GXDSMessenger::SendMsg to (0x8194adbc:10818) called

Here is the DeploymentDesciptor:
===============================
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<isd:service xmlns:isd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment"
             id="urn:stringprovider">
  <isd:provider type="org.apache.soap.providers.StatelessEJBProvider"
                scope="Application"
                methods="create ping concat substring">
    <isd:option key="JNDIName" value="ejb/StringTest_EJBModule/StringTest" />
    <isd:option key="FullHomeInterfaceName" value="rtp.ejbs.StringTestHome" />
    <isd:option key="ContextProviderURL" value="iiop://tasha:9010" />
    <isd:option key="FullContextFactoryName" value="com.sun.jndi.cosnaming.CNCtxFactory" />
  </isd:provider>
 <isd:faultListener>org.apache.soap.server.DOMFaultListener</isd:faultListener>

</isd:service>


I created and deployed the EJB using Forte for Java Enterprise Edition 3.0
with the iPlanet Application Server (6.0).  Here is the generated
DeploymentDescriptor for the EJB:

I've beaten my head aginst this one all day.  Any help would be
GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks.
