The version loaded by JNDI will be from lib, the version from the webapp will be the one from jackrabbit.war. Because they are loaded by different classloaders, they are *different* classes and are not castable even though they have the same name.
If this is the issue: to fix it, ensure no duplicate classes are defined. This may require removing a number of jars from the war file. - Peter
