Hashtable casting error

[meena latha]

Hi all
I am having a problem while using Hashtable.
Below is the piece of code.
I am basically retrieving a list from the query.
trying to store it in temporary list for which i am using Hashtable as the
VO.

  
List errorLaneList = laneService.getErrorLane(rfpID );

//ErrLaneVO error = new ErrLaneVO();
Hashtable errorLaneTable []=  new Hashtable[errorLaneList.size()];
List tempLaneList = new ArrayList();
for(int i =0;i<errorLaneList.size();i++){
errorLaneTable[i]=new Hashtable();
ErrLaneVO error = (ErrLaneVO)errorLaneList.get(i);
errorLaneTable[i].put("Origin",error.getOriginPointDescription());
errorLaneTable[i].put("Destination",error.getDstPointDescription());
tempLaneList.add(errorLaneTable);
System.out.println("*******The TablelaneList:"+(((Hashtable)tempLaneList.get(i)).get("Destination")));


}
errorForm.setTempErrorList(tempLaneList);
 
  

I guess the error is in the System.out.println.But dont how to solve

tempLaneList hold hashtable arrays. You can't cast a hashtable array into a hashtable.

Thanks Henry....
I will be great if you can tell me how to do that.
Basically i am getting ClassCastException.
Thanks

Meena,

You can't cast a hashtable array into a hashtable. There is no "how to do that", you can't cast something into something else that it is not.

You have two choices to fix this -- and it depends on what you are trying to do. You can add() a hashtable instead of the hashtable array, at the line previously. Or you can cast it to a hashtable array, and dereference it to the hashtable that you want.

Thanks it is working.
I replaced Hashtable array with Hashtable.
