Case

Under WebLogic, I deploy RMI services:

    <bean id="fakeRmiServer" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.JndiRmiServiceExporter">
        <property name="service" ref="fakeInterfaceImpl" />
        <property name="serviceInterface" value="lalou.jonathan.FakeInterface" />
        <property name="jndiName" value="fakeRmiServer" />
    </bean>
    <bean id="fakeInterfaceImpl" class="lalou.jonathan.FakeInterfaceImpl" />

The WAR is hosted by a WebLogic 10.3.3 server (this point does not matter).

I retrieve the RMI services on client side, with this Spring config:

    <bean id="fakeServiceClient" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.JndiRmiProxyFactoryBean">
        <property name="jndiName" value="fakeRmiServer"/>
        <property name="jndiEnvironment">
            <props>
                <prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory</prop>
                <prop key="java.naming.provider.url">t3://localhost:7003</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
        <property name="serviceInterface" value="lalou.jonathan.FakeInterface"/>
    </bean>

On launching the client side, I get this error:

java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot narrow remote object ClusterableRemoteRef(-2462835584319760815S:123.123.123.123:[7003,7003,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1]:JonathanApplication:JonathanAdminServer [-2462835584319760815S:123.123.123.123:[7003,7003,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1]:JonathanApplication:JonathanAdminServer/375])/375 to lalou.jonathan.FakeInterface

Fix

Indeed, this issue appeared with Spring 2.5.4, and was fixed with 2.5.6 release. I let you guess which version I was using…
(cf. Spring 2.5.6 Changelog: * JndiRmiClientInterceptor skips narrowing for RmiInvocationHandler stubs (fixing a regression in 2.5.4)
Therefore, to fix this issue you have to upgrade your Spring version to 2.5.6.

Case

Migrating a cache from EhCache to Tangosol / Oracle Coherence, I got the following error when the cache started to be filled:

com.tangosol.io.lh.LHIOException:C:\DOCUME~1\JonathanLalou\LOCALS~1\Temp\jonathanLalouCache.store, Primary file, Reading, Group 880, Frame 880: End of file reached

Quick Fix

I could not fix the issue itself. The documentation is not abundant on the subject. I never enjoyed working on closed source libraries. Anyway, a quick fix consists in replacing the LH store with a Berkeley DB store, ie replacing:

<lh-file-manager><file-name>{cache-name}.store</file-name></lh-file-manager>

with some kind of:

<bdb-store-manager></bdb-store-manager>
