I give it a try first tomorrow morning, but I'm acually quite shure that this is not the case, cause I tried already different names for the classes to check this.
thanks for your help and I will see it tomorrow morning. How does the internal system with the references work anyway? Cause I was not able to find any documentation online and after reading throw the ant code did'nt help me very much. /gert On 8/8/06, Stephen McConnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Sounds like you have a cloassloader chain issue. I'm guessing that the Configuration class that your casting to is not the same class as the Configuration class held as a reference. You confirm this by listing the system identity hashcode for both, e.g: Class local = Configuration.class; Class unknown = reference.getReferencedObject().getClass(); System.err.println( "LOCAL: " + System.identityHashCode( local ) ); System.err.println( "UNKNOWN: " + System.identityHashCode( unknown ) ); The values returned for the identity hashcode will probably be different which is why your instanceof test is failing. Assuming we are talking about separate instances it would be handy to find out where the respective classes are located. URL localURL = local.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation(); URL unknownURL = unknown.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation(); System.err.println( "LOCAL-URL: " + localURL ); System.err.println( "UNKNOWN-URL: " + unknownURL ); Assuming that the two locations are different you will need to figure out why the same class exists in two different locations (i.e. different classloaders where the common class is not actually available in a mutually accessible classloader). /Steve. > > does anybody has an idea?
