[AXIS2] ClassCastException in DescriptionBuilder while debugging

[Josh <ge...@gmail.com>]

All,

When debugging Axis2 code on Weblogic 8.1 in an exploded format, I receive a
ClassCastException in DescriptionBuilder, Line 176:

*receiver = (MessageReceiver) messageReceiver.newInstance();*

Where messageReceiver is of class
org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver

Here is the stack trace:

If I run weblogic outside of eclipse, it does not break
here.  The variable, "messageReceiver", is not null and of type "
org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver".  This should work.  Any
ideas why this would fail?  Is this an eclipse thing?
