I define a static inner class inside my JSP, I create an instance of it and 
then I keep the resulting object as a session attribute. When getting the 
attribute again I will get a ClassCastException when downcasting to my inner 
class. Is this a bug or standard behaviour?

Thanks,

<html>
  <%!
  private static class MyInnerClass {
    private int number;
    public MyInnerClass(int number) { this.number = number; }
    public void increment() { this.number++; }
    public String toString() { return Integer.toString(number); }
  }
  %>
 
  <%
  Object instanceObj = session.getAttribute("instance");
  if (instanceObj == null)
    session.setAttribute("instance", new MyInnerClass(1000));
  else {    
    // Uncomment the following line to get ClassCastException:
    //MyInnerClass instance = (MyInnerClass)instanceObj;
    //instance.increment();
  %>
    <p>instanceObj.getClass() = <%= instanceObj.getClass() %>
    <p>instanceObj = <%= instanceObj %>
  <%
  }
  %>
</html>
