RE: ClassCastException servletproblem

[Patrik Andersson]

Use the Java Reflections utilities. Issue myObject.getClass().getName() on the object that you are trying to cast to something and print it out... the variable you call statement... is that a JDBC statement? If it is you should not cast it to whatever the jdbc driver vendor has implemented it as.   regards, Patrik Andersson -----Original Message----- From: Erik Sundberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: den 14 november 2000 22:10 To: Orion-Interest Subject: ClassCastException servletproblem hi,   Just started doing servlet programming and using Orion. I made this servlet which compiles just fine but at runtime the server responde with a ClassCastException and I just can�t understand why.  Here is where I get the errors:   cpool = (ConnectionPool)context.getAttribute("cpool");   org.gjt.mm.mysql.Statement state = (org.gjt.mm.mysql.Statement)statement;   the ConnectionPool class is placed in the same package as the Servlet and the jdbc driver is in the /lib dir.   I hope this explains my problem, hope anyone can help me I have spent alot of time trying to find out what can be wrong. The casts is legal for sure.   thanks,   -erik
