SDN4：ClassCastException：无法将java.util.HashMap强制转换为[EntityNode]

Question

An issue has appeared for our code after updating to SDN4:

The code that causes the exception is below:

 Iterable<Item> items = itemRepository.findItemsByPerson(person.getUuid(), new Pagination(0, 1));
 for(Item item : items) { // Stacktrace leads the issue to here.
    currItem = item; 
    break;
 }

Perhaps this is something to do with the for-each loop, as this appears to be the case for other parts of the code which also shows this issue.

Update 05/08/2015 : The Item class is as below:

@NodeEntity
public class Item extends Entity implements Packageable {

    private String name; 

    private String shortDescription;

    private boolean isUserCreatedItem = false; 

    private double timestamp;

    @Relationship(type = "CREATED_BY")
    private Person creator;

    public Item() {

    }

    /**
     * This should be called after instantiating a new node (indicating a new node is to be added to the database)
     */
    @Override
    public void init() {
        super.init();
    }

// Other methods here

}

And the Entity class:

public abstract class Entity {

    private String uuid;    
    @GraphId private Long id;

    public void init() {
        // generate the UUID
        if(uuid == null) {
            uuid = Util.generateUUID();
        }
    }
}

The repository query method:

@Query("MATCH (item)<-[:HAS_ITEM]-(you {uuid: {0}}) "
        + "RETURN DISTINCT item "
        + "ORDER BY item.name")
Iterable<Item> findItemsByPerson(String personUuid);

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

This is a bug which you can track at https://jira.spring.io/browse/DATAGRAPH-727

As a temporary workaround, please use a Collection instead of an Iterable .
