ClassCastException

[Fiona Healy]

I am trying to use the findAll()method associated with an entity bean which returns a collection. I am then trying to store items in the collection in a vector but getting a classcastexception can anyone help please?


Code:

public Vector findAllReports()
{
Vector vect = new Vector();
//ReportDefinitionRemote remote = home.create();
try{
Collection reports = home.findAll();
System.out.println(reports + "in findAllReports()");
for (Iterator i = reports.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
ReportDefinitionPOJO pojo = (ReportDefinitionPOJO)i.next();
vect.add(pojo);

}
}
catch(Exception e){throw new EJBException(e);}
return vect;

}

Error:

00:22:21,678 ERROR [LogInterceptor] EJBException in method: public abstract java

Collection reports = home.findAll();

Here you need to typecast home.findAll() returned value to Collection type that you are using in findAll() in home interface.

Collection reports = (CollectionTypeinHomeInterface)home.findAll();

i have the home interface returning a Collection type already? I tried it anyway and i am still getting the class cast exception?

hi

Finder Method returns the Collection of Remote Objects only

in the code

ReportDefinitionRemote remote = home.create();

here the Remote Object is ReportDefinitionRemote

home.findAll() returns the Collection of ReportDefinitionRemote objects only...

you cannot type cast to the other type ReportDefinitionPOJO

i hope this was the reason for error
