[jira] [Resolved] (COLLECTIONS-515) ClassCastException in LazySortedMap when used with equals/transformers

Thomas Neidhart resolved COLLECTIONS-515.
-----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Invalid

There is no surprise here to get a ClassCastException as you provide a wrong key to the tailMap() method.

{noformat}
      org.apache.commons.collections4.trie.PatriciaTrie var0 = new org.apache.commons.collections4.trie.PatriciaTrie();
      org.apache.commons.collections4.Transformer var1 = org.apache.commons.collections4.functors.ExceptionTransformer.exceptionTransformer();
      java.util.SortedMap var2 = org.apache.commons.collections4.MapUtils.lazySortedMap((java.util.SortedMap)var0, (org.apache.commons.collections4.Transformer)var1);
      java.util.SortedMap var3 = var2.tailMap((java.lang.Object)var2);
{noformat}

So var2 is a PatriciaTrie, and you try to construct a tailMap with the trie itself as key. Of course this will result in a ClassCastException, the only surprise here is that it is not thrown immediately.

Trying the same with a java.util.TreeMap will throw the ClassCastException immediately during the call to tailMap.

> When LazySortedMap is used by equals, the result is
> java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.commons.collections4.map.LazySortedMap cannot be cast to java.lang.String
> This seems to be odd, as the use of the different transformations should not result in internal casting to String. See the attached unit test to reproduce.
