ClassCastException in SASLAuthentication function returns wrong class

Smack Smack Dev
1

I’'m trying to use smack to access GoogleTalk service, everything would be fine except I got weird class cast exception.

This line:

collector.nextResult(SmackConfiguration.getPacketReplyTimeout());

Should return class that extends Packet abstract class. Instead I get PacketReader class instance…:

This is code from SASLAuthentication with some slight modifications:

Bind bindResource = new Bind();

bindResource.setResource(resource);

PacketCollector collector = connection

.createPacketCollector(new PacketIDFilter(bindResource.getPacketID()));

// Send the packet

connection.sendPacket(bindResource);

Bind response;

// Wait up to a certain number of seconds for a response from the server.

//Packet response = collector.nextResult(SmackConfiguration.getPacketReplyTimeout());

Object resp=collector.nextResult(SmackConfiguration.getPacketReplyTimeout());

System.out.println(“SASL RESPONSE CLASS:”+resp.getClass().toString());

During execution I get:

15:55:45,375 INFO Connecting to service gmail.com at talk.google.com:5222

15:55:46,078 INFO SASL RESPONSE CLASS:class org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader$4

I’'m using 32b JVM 1.5 on Windows XP x64 could it be tha cause of that “leak”??

That exception is thrown in private String bindResourceAndEstablishSession(String resource) function

Hey Bartosz,

You might want to read the following KB document: url=http://www.jivesoftware.org/community/entry.jspa?externalID=461&categoryID=1 8Why am I getting java.lang.ClassCastException?[/url].

Hope that helps.

Thanks Gato, but it didn’'t help. I still get PacketReader instance instead Bind instance.

I have included smack.providers in jar file:

$ jar tf smack.jar

META-INF/

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

META-INF/smack-config.xml

META-INF/smack.providers

…

I have added/modified those lines in buld.xml

**

  • <pathelement **location=“$/build/resources/META-INF/smack.providers”/>

This one went to target=“compile”

**<jar destfile=“${jar.dest.dir}/smack.jar”

  • basedir=“${compile.dir}”

  • includes=“org/jivesoftware/smack/*/.class, **/smack-config.xml, **/smack.providers”

Ant this one is modified “jar” element from target=“jar”

Did I do something wrong?

I have posted full stack trace here: http://www.jivesoftware.org/community/thread.jspa?messageID=113965&#113965

Hey baranowb,

We found this problem SMACK-124 that was fixed today. You can use the next nightly build that will include the bug fix or just include smackx.jar in the classpath.

Thanks for info Gaston. It didnt help. I still get that CCE:

12:17:40,593 INFO java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jivesoftware.smack.PacketReader$4

I have even tried to overcome that CCE by changing that line from something like this:

String name=(String) it.next();

to Object name=it.next();

It didn’‘t help. Same CCE is being thrown from that line. It’'s strange because that Iterator it (it) should return Stirng Object.

Weirdest of all is that when I modify SASLAuth… so line 175 is empty, CCE still points at line 175.

smackx.jar has always been in classpath.

sorry please disgregard this post.
