如何在azure-activedirectory-library-for-java中修复ClassCastException？

Question

I'm trying to build azure AD library for java , but I'm getting this error when I build, any idea why?

2218 [pool-1-thread-1] ERROR com.microsoft.aad.adal4j.AuthenticationContext - [Correlation ID: ac256c7c-b9ae-41ff-b39c-f0746a2275f7] Request to acquire token failed.

mvn -v output is :

This was the output of mvn package , I edited the pom.xml file to add slf4j-simple dependency, and it fixed the NOP error in the output, but then I got the ClassCastException error.

Answer 1

I tried to reproduce the issue, but failed. I cloned the adal4j repository from GitHub, and packaged it via command mvn package successful.

Here is the steps within my environment.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Java SDK: JDK 1.8.0u51 64bit
Maven: 3.3.9

1. Set up the envionments for JDK and Maven in the ~/.profile file.

 export JAVA_HOME=~/<my-sdk-path>/jdk1.8.0_51 export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH export M2_HOME=~/<my-sdk-path>/apache-maven-3.3.9 export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin 

2. Check the JDK & Maven

 ~ $ java -version ~ $ mvn -v 

3. Clone the current repository for the project adal4j .

 ~ $ git clone https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-java.git 

4. Package the adal4j project.

 ~ $ cd azure-activedirectory-library-for-java ~ $ mvn package 

And I tried to package it via import the exsiting Maven project option and export the jar file in Eclipse, it also works successfully.

So I think the issue might be caused by the noise in the environment variables like PATH whatever you used Windows or Others. Please try to clean your environment or use some IDEs like Eclipse for compiling.

Hope it helps. Any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Answer 2

A quick internet search indeed makes one think that sun.net.www.protocol.https.HttpsURLConnectionImpl may be cast to javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection . So this looks like a class loader problem. Do you know more about the class loaders (and their relations) in use?

Elaboration (as asked in a comment by the op):

Every class in the jvm is identified by the triplet "class name", "package name" and its class loader (to be more precise the instance of the class loader used to load the class). Every class loader is part of a class loader hierarchy (the special boot strap class loader being the root). A ClassLoader is able to load classes (ie return class objects modelling the class in question) itself or from an ancestor but not via class loaders being siblings or descendants.

Thus if you have two classes C_1 and C_2 having the same name and the same package name, but loaded from class loader siblings --- without going up the hierachy --- the classes are not being considered the same. As a consequence an object O_2 of type C_2 cannot be assigned to a variable of type C_1; you get a ClassCastException instead.

The same holds for interfaces and classes presumely implementing this interface, when assigning an object (being an instance of the class) to a variable of the interface type. If the class and the interface have been loaded by different class loaders, the assignment may fail.

This is the reason, why you ought to look at the class loaders you are using in your setup and which loader loads the interface and which one the class. You may question the two by calling HttpsURLConnectionImpl.class.getClassLoader().toString() and HttpsURLConnection.class.getClassLoader().toString() .
