Ok. Here is the problem. I am using Model 2 Architecture. So my Servlet
handles all the biz logic and pushes the results that are then displayed by
jsp pages.
Within a jsp page I grab my vector from the request like so..
Vector mems =(Vector)request.getAttribute("response");
Then I try to loop around it and cast it to the appropiate
Object. Like
so...
<%
for (int i=0; i < mems.size(); i++) {
member m = (member)mems.get(i);
%>
<%=m.getFname()%>
<%}%>
I get a ClassCastException. But when I do a toString on the Object
itself without casting, it specifies the package name of the object that I
am trying to cast to.
To make matters wierder. When I do a getClass().isInstance(THE OBJECT
I
WANT TO CAST TO) it returns false?
What is going on here? Is this some classLoader issue?
Some tips that might help figure this issue out......
I am importing the class I am casting, in the JSP page. like
so..
<%@page import="thepackage.member, java.util.*"%>
And the class itself isn't in a jar. It's in the
WEB-INF/classes
directory.
I also changed the container from a Vector to an ArrayList and
got the
same results.
And I can instantiate the member object itself and use it in
the jsp
page.
Any ideas? Please. Someone, HELP!!!
