java.lang.ClassCastException: $Proxy121 cannot be cast to

[sumitcool2]

Hello Techies,

I am getting the Class Cast Exception when I am trying to fetch a bean from the WebApplicationContext. Following is the code which is trying to access the bean.

ServletContext servletContext = ServletMoeskContext.getServletContext();
WebApplicationContext webapp = WebApplicationContextUtils.getWebApplicationContext(servletContext);
ScenarioDaoImpl jjj = (ScenarioDaoImpl) webapp.getBean("ScenarioDao",ScenarioDaoImpl.class);

public class ServletMoeskContext {
	private static ServletContext ctx;

	public static void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext) {  
        ctx = servletContext;  
    }  
	
	public static ServletContext getServletContext() {  
        return ctx;  
    }  
}

public class ServletContextProvider implements ServletContextAware{

	public void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext) {
		ServletMoeskContext.setServletContext(servletContext);
	}
}

Can some one please tell me what is going wrong out here? Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please use the search as this question has been answered numerous times before...

In short use the interface (ScenarioDao) instead of the concrete class (ScenarioDaoImpl).. Read the reference guide especially the aop and proxy part....
