Hi All,
I have a problem with class casting. Here is the scenario -
I have an ant custom task say "mycustomA". Inside the execute method, I
create a custom obj say "customobj" of a user-defined type. I store the
"customobj" in the project reference using
getProject().addReference("key",customobj).
I using mycustomA in a "build.xml". After invoking the task mycustomA I
use ant task <ant> with inheritRefs=true to call another
"buildsecond.xml" Inside buildsecond.xml, I use a custom task say
"mycustomB" which tries to get the reference of the customobj using the
method getProject().getReference("key"). When I try to cast to the
"customobj" type I get a classcast exception.
But customobj.getClass().getName() prints the exact type of customobj.
But the instance of operator fails saying false. Is this any issue with
class loader ?
Unless you declare the two custom tasks in the same classloader, they
are going to be be in separate classloaders, so not able to share datatypes.
workarounds
-declare them in the same classloader, by giving every taskdef/typedef
the same loaderref value
-serialize the object and save to the project that way.
I'd go for the first option
