Hi Edwin,
Yes, I am running the TestVector against the same class path as my actual
application. My class path contains the Lucene JAR files. This is very
bizzard because my TestVector class extends Vector and it works, but for
some reason SegmentInfos also extends Vector but it doesnt work.
I did some more investigation and I found the following:
final class SegmentInfos extends Vector
{
public Object clone() {
Object a = super.clone(); --> code that I added to do some debug
SegmentInfos sis = (SegmentInfos) a;
...
}
}
When super.clone() returns, it actually returns a Vector object instead of a
SegmentInfos object against my expectation so that explains why the
ClassCastException occurs. On the other hand, when I run my TestVector
class:
final class TestVector extends Vector
{
public Object clone() {
Object a = super.clone(); --> code that I added to do some debug
TestVector sis = (TestVector) a;
...
}
}
When super.clone() returns, it returns TestVector!
This tells me that there is something wrong with Lucene build file that
causes this problem, but I have no idea what it could be. In Lucene's
common-build.xml, I changed the 1.4 properties to 1.6 propreties but still
to no avail.
