Type Coercion failed: cannot convert org.jivesoftware.xiff.core::EscapedJID

XIFF

Hi I am using sparkweb downloaded from svn and compiled yesterday.

I’m able to connect to a local openfire but when I attempt to connect to a conference server I get the following from the debug version of flash player:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert org.jivesoftware.xiff.core::EscapedJID@1b0738a9 to org.jivesoftware.xiff.core.UnescapedJID.

I hope I am interpreting this properly as a bug in XIFF and not sparkweb.

That’s a bug in SparkWeb. It should be calling .unescaped on the JID.

Hi David,

I ran into the same issue and attempted to write a patch for it. Adding a simple .unescaped on line 108 of MUCManager.as then provokes this error:

ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property unescaped not found on org.jivesoftware.xiff.core.UnescapedJID and there is no default value.

My patch idea is probably not what you are suggesting?

thanks!

Hm… there’s some weird code in here. What on earth was I thinking with that ‘cache’ that isn’t ever read.

I’ll see what I can do.

booo double post due to really slow response times

ok, turns out that whole section of code was just totally busted. ActionScript’s lack of a typed collection class kept the compiler from catching it

Give http://dscoder.com/mucbrowserfixes.diff a try and see if it fixes it (there’s one or two unrelated changes in that diff, but they’re trivial; no behavior change except I accidentally left in changing the default server from jivesoftware.com to igniterealtime.org, oops).

Thanks David,

After adding your patch, I now get this error when attempting to load open_chat on ignite

Why do you need tu put such a piece of unreadable info into thread’s title? I’m making that reply to fix my Start page layout…

UPD: but this doesnt help, unless thread’s author change thread’s title

Argh. I blame gremlins

I can’t look into it now, but I’ll try to remember to this evening.

ok, the first patch + a second to address this issue are in trunk now. Give it a spin and let me know how it works

Hi David,

Thanks for the rapid patches I just built from trunk and this issue is resolved…
