11. Class cast question    coderanch.com

This is definitely a frustrating one, and one I get annoyed with myself at times. Recall that a Collection can contain objects of vastly different types. There's no 'general' rule that objects in a Collection must all be of the exact same type. So when toArray() is being calling, it allocates a typed array Object[] which has no sub-classes defined. Therefore ...

13. Class.cast()    coderanch.com

The object.class.cast() syntax will perform worse than the simple (class) cast syntax. The code below includes the byte-code (from javap) in the comments, note that the class.cast() syntax invokes the cast() method in addition to checking the casting. The class.cast() method simply checks that it is a compatible type (throws ClassCastException if not) and then does a simple cast to the ...

Yes I think that you have it right, but you kind of said it backwards. What you have is two variables. One of TYPE Manager and one of type Employee.

18. Class Cast problem    coderanch.com

A cast tells the compiler that although the type of a variable is of some general type, the object the variable refers to is actually of some more specific type. This is checked at runtime, and if it's wrong, you get a ClassCastException. In your case, the variable "a" is pointing to an instance of class A, but your cast is ...

23. Class Casting    coderanch.com

Hi Jose, A cast can never change an object into something it's not; it can only tell the compiler what kind of object a variable is really pointing to. So on this line doShapes((TilePiece) game); the variable "game" is pointing to an actual GameShape object, but you're telling the compiler that "game" actually points to a TileShape object. The compiler takes ...

The error message says you're trying to call getName on an Object, which has no such method. But your code shows that item is an IndexItem, which does have that method. It looks like you're running an old version of Index, where item was an Object. Or else the code you posted isn't the part where the exception is occurring.
