EJB2.1 lookup issue in JBoss EAP 7.2.8

Question

We have migrated our application from Weblogic to JBoss EAP 7.2.8 and now we are facing issue in JNDI lookup of remote interface.

Configuration in ejb-jar.xml:

<session>
                     <ejb-name>BeanSL</ejb-name>
                     <home>com.project.ejb.BeanSLHome</home>
                     <remote>com.project.ejb.BeanSLIF</remote>
                     <ejb-class>com.project.ejb.BeanSL</ejb-class>
                     <session-type>Stateless</session-type>
                     <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
 </session>

server.log entry in Jboss for EJB registration of above mentioned class:

        java:global/ear/jarWithEJB/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLIF
        java:app/dbdocejb/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLIF
        java:module/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLIF
        java:jboss/exported/ear/jarWithEJB/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLIF
        java:global/ear/jarWithEJB/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLHome
        java:app/dbdocejb/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLHome
        java:module/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLHome
        java:jboss/exported/ear/jarWithEJB/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLHome

Remote Interface: BeanSLIF Home Interface: BeanSLHome Class implementing Remote Interface: BeanSL

BeanSLIF beanSLIf  = null ; 
Properties p  = new Properties();
                      p.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, “org.wildfly.naming.client.WildFlyInitialContextFactory”);
                      p.put( Context.PROVIDER_URL, “http-remoting://localhost:8090” );
                      p.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, “jbossUser”); 
                      p.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, “jbossPassword”);
                      p.put("jboss.naming.client.ejb.context", "true");
                      ctx = new InitialContext( p );
beanSLIf = (BeanSLIF) ctx.lookup(“ejb:/ear/jarWithEJB/BeanSL!com.project.ejb.BeanSLIF”);

On inspecting the above lookup code(cx.lookup(ejb:/...) code I am getting below ‘Proxy’: Proxy for remote EJB StatelessEJBLocator for "/ear/jarWithEJB/BeanSL", view is interface com.project.ejb.BeanSLIF, affinity is None

And this further leads to: com.sun.proxy.$Proxy39 cannot be cast to com.project.ejb.BeanSLIF

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
