I recieve this error when binding to a remote stateless EJB.

As you can see, the BeanDelegate class locates the Remote Bean via JNDI. The BeanDelegate class extends SimpleRemoteStatelessSessionProxyFactoryBean, and simply adds the ability to specify a java.namming.provider.url so that the administrator can change the xml file as the web client is moved from environment to another environment. This worked on Friday, I came in on Monday, and somehow this has become broken. I'm unable to track down the cause and any help would be greatly appreciated. Below are my client classes.

Code:
/*
 * Created on Oct 12, 2004
 *
 */
package com.llic.usermanager.ejb;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import java.util.List;

import com.llic.usermanager.data.ApplicationVO;
import com.llic.usermanager.data.GroupVO;
import com.llic.usermanager.data.RoleVO;
import com.llic.usermanager.data.UserVO;

/**
 * @author Todd Nine
 *
 */
public interface UserManager
&#123;

	public static final String ENABLED = "Y";
	public static final String DISABLED = "N";
	
       ..methods here...

&#125;
And the two client classes.

Code:
/*
 * Created on Oct 12, 2004
 *
 */
package com.llic.usermanager.ejb;

import java.rmi.RemoteException;

import javax.ejb.CreateException;
import javax.ejb.EJBHome;

/**

public interface UserManagerHome extends EJBHome
&#123;
	public UserManagerRemote create&#40;&#41; throws CreateException, RemoteException;
&#125;
Code:
/*
 * Created on Oct 12, 2004
 *
 */
package com.llic.usermanager.ejb;

import java.rmi.Remote;
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;

/**

&#123;
