My project is using Java5 and we're trying to use JBpm with it.
I created a Delegation to Actionhandler that accepts a HashMap as a field.
The definition had;
<requestParams>
<entity><key>somekey</key><value>someValue</value></entity>
</requestParams>
This caused an exception. After looking into the code I found that in getValue, lines 134 to 141
else if (type.isAssignableFrom(List.class)) {
value = getCollection(propertyElement, new ArrayList());
} else if (type.isAssignableFrom(Set.class)) {
value = getCollection(propertyElement, new HashSet());
} else if (type.isAssignableFrom(Collection.class)) {
value = getCollection(propertyElement, new ArrayList());
} else if (type.isAssignableFrom(Map.class)) {
value = getMap(propertyElement, new HashMap());In java 5 there is a problem with such check and thus this code should be:
else if (List.class.isAssignableFrom(type)) {
value = getCollection(propertyElement, new ArrayList());
} else if (Set.class.isAssignableFrom(type)) {
value = getCollection(propertyElement, new HashSet());
} else if (Collection.class.isAssignableFrom(type)) {
value = getCollection(propertyElement, new ArrayList());
} else if (Map.class.isAssignableFrom(type)) {
value = getMap(propertyElement, new HashMap());
After changing the code it worked for me....
