(Thumbnail synopsis; the app blows up with ClassCastException when I extend
ActionBeanContext.)
This was downloaded from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mvnstripes/files/stripes-quickstart-1.0/1.0/stripes-archetype-quickstart-1.0.jar/download
Using eclipse with its built in maven I couldn't get it to create a new
maven project by adding the archetype using the eclipse dialog box for
creating a new project, where you can type in all of the parameters into
the dialog box (archetypeArtifactId etc.) So I downloaded the jar file,
extracted it, and manually copied the files into a new maven project where
the selected archetype was groupid= org.apache.maven.archetypes and the
artifact id= maven-archetype-webapp, version 1.0, and fixed the places and
replaced ${groupId} with mine (com.objecteffects) and ${artifactId} with
sample.
I couldn't change the eclipse project facet Dynamic Web Module from 2.3 to
2.4 (to match the web-app 2.4 version in web.xml) so I resorted to brute
force and edited org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml and changed
it to 2.4 there. Being paranoid since I'm editing one of eclipse's files I
exited and then started it. Then right clicked on the project and ran
maven -> Update Project, followed by a menu Project -> Clean... and that
finally got rid of the red error flag on the project.
I created an eclipse run configuration for maven with the goal jetty:run
and ran that, then waited for maven to download a billion and one jar files
and start jetty, which it finally did.
Opened the url localhost:8080/sample and got the Home.html
"Congratulations!" page. (But with some intervening flailing around until I
remembered that I needed to replace the ${package} in web.xml (global
search and replace never seems to come to mind in these situations).
Next, I created a new Action Bean Context class:
package com.objecteffects.sample.action;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBeanContext;
/**
*/
public class SampleActionBeanContext extends ActionBeanContext {
}
Then I changed the BaseActionBean to use this class:
package com.objecteffects.sample.action;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBean;
import net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBeanContext;
public class BaseActionBean implements ActionBean {
private SampleActionBeanContext context;
public ActionBeanContext getContext() {
return this.context;
}
public void setContext(ActionBeanContext context1) {
this.context = (SampleActionBeanContext) context1;
}
}
Now when I try to open the page it blows up with a ClassCastException,
"net.sourceforge.stripes.action.ActionBeanContext cannot be cast to
com.objecteffects.sample.action.SampleActionBeanContext". This is
happening on the line "this.context = ...".
The supplied pom.xml specifies 1.5 for the java language, and the project's
properties has 1.5 for the java compiler JDK compliance. But I'm using jdk
1.8.0_111.
I'm going to try replacing my 1.8 jdk with the 1.5 one and see if that
fixes it, but while I'm in the process of that I thought I'd ask if anyone
knows what's wrong?
Thanks
