[jira] Commented: (XMLRPC-178) ClassCastException in client proxy cannot cast Ljava.lang.Object to Ljava.lang.String

["Chris Cooper (JIRA)" <xm...@ws.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-178?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12765086#action_12765086 ] 

Chris Cooper commented on XMLRPC-178:
-------------------------------------

Just to add a comment, when I debug the code at the line
TypeConverter typeConverter = typeConverterFactory.getTypeConverter(pMethod.getReturnType());

when I look at pMethod variable, return type is indeed "class [Ljava.lang.String;"

> I have a fairly simple client server application. One of my exposed server methods returns a String[]. I am getting a ClassCastException on the client side when getting the result. The class cast exception occurs in ClientFactory.class in the newInstance function. I am stepping through the code, and it happens on the line "return typeConverter.convert(result);". Stepping into this function hasn't really helped as it causes the ClassCastException. I am not sure what the problem is, on the server side I have debugged and determined that my function is indeed returning a String[] as it should be, but for some reason when it comes over to the client side there is a problem. I can post you the stack trace:
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [Ljava.lang.String;
> 	at $Proxy1.getInstances(Unknown Source)
> 	at com.rsa.grinderbot.controller.perfmon.WindowsProxy.getInstances(WindowsProxy.java:46) -> this is the proxy object calling my server's function
> 	at com.rsa.grinderbot.controller.perfmon.WindowsStats.<init>(WindowsStats.java:37)
> 	at com.rsa.grinderbot.controller.perfmon.PerformanceMonitor.<init>(PerformanceMonitor.java:33)
> 	at com.rsa.grinderbot.controller.Controller.run(Controller.java:268)
> 	at com.rsa.grinderbot.controller.Controller.main(Controller.java:333)
> Here is my constructor that creates the proxy object using the client factory.
> public WindowsProxy(Server server) {
> 		this.server = server;
> 		XmlRpcClientConfigImpl config = new XmlRpcClientConfigImpl();
> 		try {
> 			config.setServerURL(new URL("http://" + server.getHostname() + ":" + server.getPort() + "/xmlrpc"));
> 			config.setReplyTimeout(0);
> 			config.setConnectionTimeout(0);
> 			XmlRpcClient client = new XmlRpcClient();
> 		    client.setConfig(config);
> 		    ClientFactory factory = new ClientFactory(client);
> 		    windows = (WindowsServerAPI) factory.newInstance(WindowsServerAPI.class);
> 		} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
> 			//TODO log4j
> 			e.printStackTrace();
> 		}
> 	}
