Hi, i have a problem with casting the $proxy2 instance.
I have an interface: public interface ResourceManager and an implementation of it: public class ResourceManagerImpl extends AbstractLogEnabled implements ResourceManager, Configurable, Initializable, Disposable, Serviceable, ThreadSafe, Contextualizable, Component when i use in a second class called DefaultComponentManager, implementing the interface Serviceable, the lookup method it returns an instance of a dynamic proxy class called $proxy2. i can only cast this proxy class instance into an instance of the interface, but i need an instance of the implementation class ResourceManagerImpl. how can i get this object the dynamic proxy class was instatiated?? public void service(ServiceManager serviceManager ) throws ServiceException { ComponentEventListener listener = ( ComponentEventListener ) serviceManager.lookup( ComponentEventListener.ROLE ); Object resourceManager = serviceManager.lookup( ResourceManager.ROLE ); TransactionManager txm = (TransactionManager ) serviceManager.lookup( TransactionManager.class.getName() ); final org.apache.avalon.framework.component.DefaultComponentManager dcm = new org.apache.avalon.framework.component.DefaultComponentManager(); setupLogger(dcm, "System"); dcm.put(ResourceManager.ROLE, (Component) resourceManager); dcm.put(ComponentEventListener.ROLE, (Component)listener); dcm.put(UserTransaction.class.getName(), new UserTransactionImpl(txm, listener)); dcm.makeReadOnly(); m_ComponentManager = new ExComponentManager( listener, dcm, this.getClass().getClassLoader() ); } Greets, André Steinkamp
