Okay.
In fact, I don't understand which this code works in Java but not in Groovy
(even if naming a variable with a class name, not in camel case, is weird ...).
I made this test class to illustrate this :
package com.sylob.cochise.test;
import groovy.lang.Binding;
import groovy.lang.GroovyShell;
public class TestMyWeirdScript {
public static class MyClass {
private final String code;
public MyClass(String code) {
super();
this.code = code;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return this.code;
}
}
public static String SCRIPT_SRC =
"import com.sylob.cochise.test.TestMyWeirdScript.MyClass;\r\n"
+ "MyClass instance = MyClass;\r\n" + "\r\n" +
"System.out.println(instance);";
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyClass instance = new MyClass("code");
// throws :
org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object
// 'class com.sylob.cochise.test.TestMyWeirdScript$MyClass' with class
'java.lang.Class' to
// class 'com.sylob.cochise.test.TestMyWeirdScript$MyClass'
TestMyWeirdScript.execGroovy(instance);
// Compilation & exec OK
TestMyWeirdScript.execJava(instance);
}
public static void execGroovy(MyClass instance) {
Binding binding = new Binding();
binding.setVariable("MyClass", instance);
new GroovyShell(binding).evaluate(TestMyWeirdScript.SCRIPT_SRC);
}
public static void execJava(MyClass MyClass) {
MyClass instance = MyClass;
System.out.println(instance);
}
}
Definitly no solution to handle this case, without refactoring existing scripts
?
Cheers, Mickael.

It is still a bit hard to let you know the best way to proceed from just the
sample you have shown without more context.
If I had a class Article and an instance Article (I am assuming from the
binding), then I would either:
* use an alias for the class, i.e.:
import Article as MyArticle // then use MyArticle everywhere (in that script)
where you want the class but you'd still need to be careful, some things won't
work; or
* just reserve the Article binding variable name for the binding only, e.g.:
def article = binding.variables.get('Article') // at start of script
// ... use article instance through script ...
binding.variables.put('Article', article) // at end of script
Cheers, Paul.

If the user scripts are already existing, which version of Groovy were they
targeting? I've seen this behavior (of treating identifiers starting with an
uppercase letter as potential class names) for my entire life as a Groovy
developer, which started several years ago.

Unfortunatly yes, that's what I need to do, passing an Article instance into a

Because of existing user scripts which must continue to work without
refactoring.
How can I deal with it ?

Article articleTmp = (Article) Article;
in Groovy is the same as
Article articleTmp = (Article) Article.getClass();
in Java.
Article.getClass()
is of type Class<Article>, so casting it to Article will fail - what you want
to do ist pass an Article instance, not the class, I presume...

Hello,
I'm using last Groovy version (3.0.1) in my Java application to run user
defined scripts (Java based).
Here is how a script is executed (sorry for the formatting) :
public Object eval(String scriptName, String script, Map<String, Object>
mapVariable)
throws CochiseException {
groovy.lang.Script groovyScript = this.scriptCache.get(scriptName);
if (groovyScript == null) {
groovyScript = new GroovyShell().parse(script);
this.scriptCache.put(scriptName, groovyScript);
}
groovyScript.setBinding(new Binding(mapVariable));
return groovyScript.run();
}
I have the following exception when I pass the object "Article" of class
"com.sylob.cochise.dm1.ejb.entite.article.Article" in the Map of variables :
org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast
object 'interface com.sylob.cochise.dm1.ejb.entite.article.Article' with class
'java.lang.Class' to class 'com.sylob.cochise.dm1.ejb.entite.article.Article'
Here is the script :
import com.sylob.cochise.dm1.ejb.entite.article.Article;
println "CL import Article : " + Article.class.getClassLoader()
println "CL var Article: " + Article.getClass().getClassLoader()
Article articleTmp = (Article) Article;
// ... some stuff
This not seem to be a classLoader problem, because same class loader is used to
load both com.sylob.cochise.dm1.ejb.entite.article.Article class in the script
and "Article" object in the calling application.
Also tested with 2.5.9, same error.
What's wrong here ?
Thanks.
