This is nothing to do with Merlin.
The class cast exception ocurs as a result of a component manager
attempting to cast the supplied service to a Component. This was a
perfectly resonable thing to do when Cornerstone was release. There is
code out there that does this. The changes in cornerstone have broken
compatibility with code from the user community.
I've already posted two examples showing the stack traces when using the
current Cornerstone jar with James.
The bottom line is that the retraction of the Component interrface
changes the block version - it is no longer consitent with 1.0.
Cheers, Steve.
