Strange behaviour with ClassCastException at runtime

Question

I am using Mapstruct to map convert one POJOs to another POJO model

Following is the method that mapstruct auto generated

        protected Map<String, GenericAttributeData> headerAttributeGenericDataTypeMapToStringGenericAttributeDataMap(Map<HeaderAttribute, GenericDataType> map) {
        if ( map == null ) {
            return null;
        }

        Map<String, GenericAttributeData> map1 = new HashMap<String, GenericAttributeData>( Math.max( (int) ( map.size() / .75f ) + 1, 16 ) );

        for ( java.util.Map.Entry<HeaderAttribute, GenericDataType> entry : map.entrySet() ) {
            String key = entry.getKey().name(); // THIS IS THE LINE WHERE I GET EXCEPTION
            GenericAttributeData value = genericDataTypeToGenericAttributeData( entry.getValue() );
            map1.put( key, value );
        }

        return map1;
    }

    protected GenericAttributeData genericDataTypeToGenericAttributeData(GenericDataType genericDataType) {
        if ( genericDataType == null ) {
            return null;
        }

        GenericAttributeData genericAttributeData = new GenericAttributeData();

        if ( genericDataType.getType() != null ) {
            genericAttributeData.setType( genericDataType.getType().name() );
        }
        genericAttributeData.setValue( genericDataType.getValue() );

        return genericAttributeData;
    }

This method basically takes Map of source POJOs and converts them to Map of destination models. The build is passing.

When I run the code, i am getting ClassCast exception in this method : headerAttributeGenericDataTypeMapToStringGenericAttributeDataMap

I also tried to print the values of this method and they seem fine. I also tried adding debug breakpoints and the values seem okay.

Can someone please help here?

Answer 1

It may be somehow connected with your aspects. Maybe some aspect replaces the value in your map, so it returns a value of a wrong type
