Sounds like you have a cloassloader chain issue. I'm guessing that the Configuration class that your casting to is not the same class as the Configuration class held as a reference. You confirm this by listing the system identity hashcode for both, e.g: Class local = Configuration.class; Class unknown = reference.getReferencedObject().getClass(); System.err.println( "LOCAL: " + System.identityHashCode( local ) ); System.err.println( "UNKNOWN: " + System.identityHashCode( unknown ) ); The values returned for the identity hashcode will probably be different which is why your instanceof test is failing. Assuming we are talking about separate instances it would be handy to find out where the respective classes are located. URL localURL = local.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation(); URL unknownURL = unknown.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation(); System.err.println( "LOCAL-URL: " + localURL ); System.err.println( "UNKNOWN-URL: " + unknownURL ); Assuming that the two locations are different you will need to figure out why the same class exists in two different locations (i.e. different classloaders where the common class is not actually available in a mutually accessible classloader). /Steve. > > does anybody has an idea?
