Question

i have a big problem…

i have this map

HashMap<Long, String> examValues;

It gets populated by textboxes automatically with name="examValues[id]" Although i explicitly defined the element as String , it doesn’t care!!!
I want everything to be a String…
The result is to get a

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String

when i try to

System.out.print(examValues.get(examValue.getExam().getId()).getClass().getName());

Stacktrace:

INFO: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Long cannot be cast to java.lang.String

Any idea?

Answer 1

Solution found…
It messes up with HashMap needs only Map

So examValues declaration should be like that:

Map<Long, String> examValues;
