Digester parse() casting exception

[Patrick . Grimard]

I've created a simple digester class, but for some reason it's throwing a
ClassCastException when the parse method is being called.

The message in the exception is: com.dsn.loadlink.HarvestDigester cannot be cast
to com.dsn.loadlink.Harvester

Here's my digester class:

package com.dsn.loadlink;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
import org.apache.commons.digester.Digester;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;

      private static Log log = LogFactory.getLog ( HarvestDigester.class );
      private Harvester harvester = null;

      String routineName = "HarvestDigester";

      try {

            Digester digester = new Digester();
            digester.push ( this );
            digester.setValidating ( false );

            // Main Harvester class
            //digester.addObjectCreate ( "harvester", Harvester.class );
            digester.addObjectCreate ( "harvester", "com.dsn.loadlink.Harvester"

            // Datasources
            digester.addObjectCreate ( "harvester/datasources/datasource",

            harvester = (Harvester) digester.parse ( new File ( harvestFile ) );

      } catch ( IOException ioe ) {

            saxe.printStackTrace();
      }

    public Harvester getHarvester() {
      return harvester;
    }
}
