Glassfish - VERY strange ClassCastException

Question

I get this exception when try to call remote web service... Strange - because we have this exception ONLY in Glassfish 2.1/3.1 environment... When im start code from command line (JDK 1.6.0_16-b01) all works fine! So looks its a Glassfish problem

Any ideas?

I got the same error. It took me couple of hours to fix the problem. I was using the wrong BindingProviderProperties interface.

The BindingProviderProperties interface exists in two different packages. (for different Java/JAX-WS versions)

If you are getting ClassCastException most probably you need import different package in your soap service class.

change

import com.sun.xml.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties;

to

import com.sun.xml.internal.ws.client.BindingProviderProperties;
