java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy9 cannot be cast to org.springframework.remoting.

Hi thanks for any help being banging my head over this for the whole weekend. I need to acces a remote service using HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean but not using autowired which does work and looks after the casting for me.

I am trying to access a simple remote service.

In my remoting-servlet.xml

<bean name="/MyService" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.Ht tpInvokerServiceExporter">
<property name="service" ref="myService"/>
<property name="serviceInterface" value="uk.co.mo.app.moses.domain.myservice.service .MyService"/>
</bean>

In my applicationContext.xml


<bean id="agreementServiceProxy" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.Ht tpInvokerProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="serviceUrl" value="http://localhost:8080/RemoteApp/remoting/AgreementService"/>
<property name="serviceInterface" value="uk.co.mo.app.moses.domain.myservice.service .MyService"/>
</bean>


I deploy the war file to tomcat.

In my junit


public class RemoteCustomerServiceTest extends AbstractJunit4Test {
private HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean customerServiceProxy;

@Test
public void testCustomerSelectHttpInvoker() {
ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath*:META-INF/spring/applicationContext*.xml");
customerServiceProxy = (HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean)ctx.getBean("customer ServiceProxy");
}

When I run the test I get the error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy10 cannot be cast to org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvok erProxyFactoryBean

Thanks for any help.

Is there any decent step by step guides.

Use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code!!! :mad:

I suggest you read on how a FactoryBean works.

Fixed


ApplicationContext ctx = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("classpath*:META-INF/spring/applicationContext*.xml");
MyService service = (MyService)ctx.getBean("myServiceProxy");
