ClassCastException

[Candy Bortniker]

I am getting this error ClassCastException: AccountFrame$AccountTransaction. What am I doing wrong?

 
if (evt.getActionCommand() == "Next")
{ AccountTransaction trans;
  Vector transact;
  try
 { ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream (
       new FileInputStream( "account.dat" ) );
   transact = (Vector) ois.readObject();
   ois.close ();
   System.out.println ( "Vector size is " + transact.size() );
   for ( int i = 0; i < transact.size(); i++ )
   { trans = (AccountTransaction)transact.elementAt(i);
     String aGrpAcctNo = trans.getGrpAcctNumber();
     String aSSN = trans.getSSN();
     String aName = trans.getName();
     String aDate = trans.getDate();
     float aAmt = trans.getAmount();
     txtGrpAcctNumber.setText (aGrpAcctNo);
     txtSSN.setText (aSSN);
     txtName.setText (aName);
     txtDate.setText (aDate);
     txtAmount.setText (String.valueOf(aAmt));
   }//close for
  System.out.println ( "Press a key to continue" );
  System.in.read();
}//close try
 catch ( Exception e )
 { System.out.println ( "Error " + e );  }
       }//end Next

Hi Candy
Try to know what object exactly you are getting in the vector as an element via,
System.out.println(transact.elementAt(i).getClass().getName());
and then see if it is really of the type you are looking for. If not then what did cause it to be of different type...
