RE: ClassCastException - why?

[Sanjivendra Nath]

Looked like your email would solve my problem, but I made all permutations of these entries, including taking them all out and alternating them.  Same ClassCastException results in every case.  But will persevere...no other option right now.

 

servlet.forum.code=com.aci.appserver.AppServer
servlet.forum.initArgs=RESOURCEBUNDLE=com.forum.dynmodel.DynModel
servlet.AppServer.code=com.aci.appserver.AppServer
servlet.AppServer.initArgs=RESOURCEBUNDLE=com.forum.dynmodel.DynModel.properties

I saw this recently.  In my case, it seemed to be related to having 2 (or more) identical servlet alias entries, eg:

        servlet.MyServlet.code=com.acme.servlet.MyServlet
        servlet.OtherServlet=com.acme.servlet.Other
        servlet.MyServlet.code=com.acme.servlet.MyServlet

I took out the redundant alias, and the ClassCastException went away.  Didn't have time to trace through
and find out why this mis-configuration causes this error, though.  Anyway, you might try checking for
redundant alias entries.

Everytime I try to run my servlet, I keep getting a:
 
uncaught exception java.lang.ClassCastException....
 
What does this exception mean?
 
This is the stack trace:
 
Uncaught exception: java.lang.ClassCastException com.forum.dynmodel.servlet.CalcIncomeNestegg
        at org.apache.jserv.JServServletManager.load_init(JServServletManager.java:526)
        at org.apache.jserv.JServServletManager.loadServlet(JServServletManager.java:488)

        at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.run(JServConnection.java:188)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java)
 
There is obviously no reference to this exception in the code.  But can't see where it belongs or why it happens.
 
I only mail this to the list to be sure that it is a bug in my code vs. something apache1.3.9/jserv1.0 is doing. 
 
What exactly is the org.apache.jserv.JServServletManager.load_init(JServServletManager.java:526) doing?
 
Thanks,
