How Do I Correctly Deploy A Bean - JNDI, Weblogic 12C

Question

I am trying to create a bean for a weblogic 12C server. The bean is just going to hold a couple values that at least one (possibly more) application(s) can reference (specifically - a bearer token, the duration of the token, and when it was retrieved)

I'm kind of new to this (hence my boggle)

I am running the latest version of Eclipse and have installed the Weblogic tools. I build my bean and deployed it to the local server. At this point, I am just trying to get my context and lookup my bean. When I run the client all I get this:

java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.jndi.internal.WLContextImpl cannot be cast to com.salientcrgt.chums.oAuthToken
    at TestRemoteLoading.TestClass.getBean(TestClass.java:46)
    at TestRemoteLoading.TestClass.main(TestClass.java:27)

If I go the the Weblogic console and look up my deployment, I see this in the "Test" tab:

oAuthTokenBeanEAR oAuthTokenBeanEAR     
Classloader Analysis Tool   Classloader Analysis Tool on server AdminServer
oAuthToken 
oAuthToken      Test points for this EJB module.
oAuthToken  AdminServer No test point since this EJB's home does not have a JNDI name.

Client Application:

Here are the methods where I am trying to get the bean

   @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    private static Context getInitialContext() throws NamingException {
        @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://127.0.0.1:7001");
        return new InitialContext(env);
    }

    public static void getBean() {
        try {
            final Context c = getInitialContext();
            /** print list of jndi names in context */
            NamingEnumeration<NameClassPair> list = c.list("");
            while (list.hasMore()) {
              System.out.println(list.next().getName());
            }
            // get the bean
            setTokenBean((oAuthToken) c.lookup("oAuthToken#com"));
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

I think I am doing the correct thing in the client but have not assembled/deployed the bean correctly in some way. I hope this is enough information to show what I have screwed up here.

This produced the following output:

Answer 1

Got it sorted.

The above code is mostly correct. Here is what I ended up with:

    public static void getBean() {
        try {
            final Context c = getInitialContext();
            setTokenBean( (oAuthTokenOBJ) 
                   c.lookup("oAuthToken#com.salientcrgt.chums.oAuthTokenOBJ"));
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

oAuthTokenOBJ is the interface.

I went to the main in my test class and did this:

    public static void main(String Arg[]) throws IOException  {
        getBean();
        String myService = tokenBean.getService();
        System.out.println(myService);
    }

It prints "default", which is the initial value in the bean for that field. Hope this helps someone else.

(I can't be the only one who finds Oracle documentation to be a smidge obtuse.) lol
