Hi
I am migrating some applications from AS7.1 to Wildfly 8.2. I have some legacy apps that store user details in the users session which work fine on AS7.1.
On Wildfly, the application works ok when deployed for the first time. If I redeploy the application then I am getting ClassCastException when I try and retrieve the session attributes. I have to restart the server to fix the problem.
The application stores the user details by:
AccountProfile user = new AccountProfile();
//populate the details from logon
session.setAttribute("UserProfile", user);
When it tries to retrieve the profile to handle requests using
AccountProfile user = (AccountProfile) session.getAttribute("UserProfile");
I get error: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.bhsf.website.shared.data.user.AccountProfile cannot be cast to com.bhsf.website.shared.data.user.AccountProfile
The application is a simple war file with a few dependent jars. There is only 1 copy of AccountProfile in the classpath. Wildfly is just the basic standalone configuration with a few datasources and hosts defined, nothing else has changed. It looks like it's holding onto a previous version of the class somewhere between redeploys?
Can anyone help?
Thanks!
