Hi everyone,
I assume there is a BUG in the JSP Code Compiler somewhere, because the
following does not work as it should:
[...]
<%
// Retrieve user object for this session
Object obj = request.getSession().getAttribute("user");
// Just make sure, what class we have
System.out.println(obj.getClass().toString());
// Check instance, should return true.
if (obj instanceof some.User)
currentUser = (somepkg.User) obj;
else
System.out.println("WEIRD! How can that be???");
%>
User is the interface for describing a User and its properties, UserImpl is
the actual implementation. obj.getClass().toString() shows, that obj is
instance of somepkg.UserImpl, but instanceof returns false. Even if i try
"obj.instanceof somepkg.UserImpl" it fails. Casting throws a ClassCastException.
Can anyone verify this behaviour?
I am new to this list, so please apologize if this has been reported
already.
Thanks for any comment on this.
Bye,
Levent.
