Question

There are two classes

foo.bar.FileUploader and barbar.foofoo.FileUploader

Both are identical and extend Uploader

Somewhere in the code the foo.bar.FileUploader is used and are given as a parameter to my function as an Uploader type.

Now I need to cast it back to FileUploader but the barbar.foofoo.FileUploader. And this gives an error:

ERROR – unhandled error
java.lang.ClassCastException:
foo.bar.FileUploader cannot be cast
to barbar.foofoo.FileUploader

And I can’t figure out what’s going wrong, I suppose it’s because the package is different. In that case: Is there a way to still use the class and get the cast done?

Answer 1

Thanks for the help people.

I just solved the problem by importing the the barbar.foofoo.FileUploader. Now it runs fine!
