Thanks Chris. Still not having any luck. Let me give you the snippet of
the code so that you can understand the problem better:
I have a servlet like this
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
// some code
RequestFacade rf = (RequestFacade) request; // this
throws a class cast exception
Request realRequest = new
MyRequestFacade().getRequest(rf);
Context ctx = _realRequest.getContext();
StandardManager sessionMgr = (StandardManager)
ctx.getManager();
sessionMgr.getActiveSessions();
}
When I debug I see that the request object coming into doGet method of the
servlet is RequestFacade but I can't assign it directly to a RequestFacade
object or can't type cast it. Although when I type cast it I don't get any
compilation error but at runtime it throws as a ClassCastException.
Am I doing something stupid here? :-( Looks simple it is so frustrating as
when I debug I can open the RequestFacade object and see the Request
Object, Context, Manager and all the information I need but I don't know
how to access it.
Any thoughts from fresh pair eyes?
Thanks,

I had thought about that, but I thought the JVM prevented code from
getting-around access privileges by using introspection. Or is that only
when a SecurityManager is running?
