Class Cast exception

["Phukan, Anit" <An...@intuit.com>]

Hi,

Could someone help me out with this?

I get this exception while trying to set property value for a node to an
object

 java.lang.ClassCastException: package.objectClassname cannot be cast to
javax.jcr.Value

In my code, I am trying to set the property value this way:

patientRecords.setProperty("PatientObject", (Value)
persistedObject.getObject());


where patientRecords is a node, and persistedObject is the object


Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Anit

You can't store an arbitrary object as property. It has to be a
javax.jcr.Value, ie. one of it's subclasses or simpler yet, using the
appropriate setProperty(String name, <type> value) method.

However, you can serialize your object and store it as a binary
property using setProperty(String,InputStream) in JCR 1.0 or
setProperty(String,Binary) in JCR 2.0.

Regards,
Alex
