Chen Guoping commented on COLLECTIONS-747:
------------------------------------------

Can you using it follow the JAVADoc ?

[http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/apidocs/org/apache/commons/collections4/keyvalue/MultiKey.html]

K[] getKeys()K[] getKeys()Gets a clone of the array of keys.

> MultiKey.getKeys class cast exception

> When using an non-array constructor of MultiKey, an Object[] is created, 
> which cannot be cast to a K[]
> {code}
> import org.apache.commons.collections4.keyvalue.MultiKey;
> public class MultiKeyClassCastException {
>     public static void main(String[] args) {
>         MultiKeyClassCastException key1 = new MultiKeyClassCastException();
>         MultiKeyClassCastException key2 = new MultiKeyClassCastException();
>         MultiKeyClassCastException[] keys = new MultiKey<>(key1, 
> key2).getKeys();
>     }

> // running gives (same error if in module):
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: class 
> [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to class [LMultiKeyClassCastException; 
> ([Ljava.lang.Object; is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'; 
> [LMultiKeyClassCastException; is in unnamed module of loader 'app')
>       at MultiKeyClassCastException.main(MultiKeyClassCastException.java:8)
> {code}
> AFAIK, the only way to fix this (with source compatibility), is to only have 
> a varargs constructors. but I think this breaks binary compatibility though 
> and cannot be used with the existing constructors.
> {code}
>     @SafeVarargs
>     public MultiKey(K... keys) {
>         this.keys = keys;
>     }
> {code}
> Workaround is to use array constructor with correct typed array or 
> {code}Object[] keys = multiKey.getKeys();{code} explicitly.
