I sometimes get this error message after I have redeployed (also with in-place deployment) a WAR project and have tried to use a JSF form:

My previous #JavaEE trainer said it is a bug in #Glassfish / #Payara but it starts to become more anoying. Does someone know something to prevent this from happening?

Yes, filling out a bug report may help. But maybe there is a trick or so?

The most "outter" exception says:

javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.faces.view.facelets.FaceletException: javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup failed for 'java:global/jreports-ejb/contact!org.mxchange.jcontacts.contact.ContactSessionBeanRemote' in SerialContext[myEnv={java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.enterprise.naming.impl.SerialInitContextFactory, java.naming.factory.state=com.sun.corba.ee.impl.presentation.rmi.JNDIStateFactoryImpl, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=com.sun.enterprise.naming} [Root exception is javax.naming.NamingException: ejb ref resolution error for remote business interfaceorg.mxchange.jcontacts.contact.ContactSessionBeanRemote [Root exception is java.lang.ClassCastException]]

The interface in question (see the JNDI string end) "ContactSessionBeanRemote" is annotated with @Remote (javax.ejb.Remote) and not java.rmi.Remote as the exception says.

It is declared as following:

public interface ContactSessionBeanRemote extends Serializable {
...
}
