type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer

what is it.
to run my program again i have to restart my computer.

[Piyush Mangal]

to run my program again i have to restart my computer.

Do you really have to restart your machine? I think you meant restarting your tomcat server. The issue is ClassCastException.

actualy i am working on my college server so i can't restart server so i have to restart the computer to restart server

why this exception is coming.
is there any problem in code?

[Anurag Verma]

the problem is in InfonetFilter.java line number 29, where you are casting into Integer.

is there is any problem in the session in my first servlet i am setting session like following

String cc_no  = request.getParameter("ccno");
int ccno =Integer.parseInt(cc_no);
HttpSession session=request.getSession();
session.setAttribute("ccno",ccno);

and in my second servlet i am getting session like following

HttpSession session =request.getSession();
int ccno=(Integer)session.getAttribute("ccno");

please tell me how can i maintain session from one servlet to another, i have done through above method but its not working.

[sanket singh]

Paste line 29 of InfonetFilter.java
and
try to change your second servlet to
int ccno=Integer.parstInt(session.getAttribute("ccno"));

i think it might work.

this is giving me following error

Do you really need us to check your spelling?

Bear Bibeault wrote:Do you really need us to check your spelling?

sorry i didn't observe that.
i correct it but it is still giving error.
actualy waht i observe is that http session is not working on my server, when i trying to redirect to any jsp or any other servlet page it is still giving the same error and when i diasabled those line where i made httpsession in first servlet its redirecting to any of the page.
so is there is any alternative of http session to make session for the integer variable.

[Tim Moores]

You don't need an alternative to HttpSession, you need to fix whatever problem your code has in using it.

[Eshwin Sukhdeve]

just try with session.putValue() method and get the session value using session.getValue()

[Bear Bibeault]

Eshwin Sukhdeve wrote:just try with session.putValue() method and get the session value using session.getValue()

Those methods are deprecated and should not be used. See the HttpSession.

if you are using this line of code
"int ccno=Integer.parseInt(session.getAttribute("ccno")); "

then it will through an exception at runtime because in method parseInt ,argument has to be a string not a int or Integer or anything else.
So make sure when you are setting an attribute in the session it must be of type Integer and when you are using getAttribute() method, type cast it to Integer , as the return type of this method is Object.
If you do this it will surely work.

[Tim Moores]

Read the javadocs of HttpSession to find out what data type HttpSession.getAttribute returns. You seem to have removed a critical piece that was present in your earlier code.

it is saying "Returns the object bound with the specified name in this session" so in my code it should return int value
so if i am doing following

HttpSession session =request.getSession();
int ccno =session.getAttribute("ccno");   

then it is giving following compilation error

Ben.java:28: incompatible types

int ccno =Integer.parseInt(session.getAttribute("ccno").toString());

This is because you are not type casting it to Integer class. I think i have mentioned that in my post . try it ,it will work

No, the method signature specifically says that it returns java.lang.Object. So if you want to use it as anything other than an Object you need to typecast it.

That's not a cast. Although it would still probably work if the attribute was an Integer value.

The important thing is to work out exactly what session.getAttribute("ccno") is returning. Get your code to print out or log the value and the type, and that

[Swastik Dey]

What exactly do you mean by not working? Throwing any exception? Make sure that you are getting the value in the session scoped variable ccno.

int ccno =0;
if(session.getAttribute("ccno")!=null && !"".equals(session.getAttribute("ccno").toString().trim())){
   try{
     ccno=Integer.parseInt(session.getAttribute("ccno").toString());
    }
    catch(NumberFormatException e){
           //retrieved but not numeric
   }
}
else{
   //failed to retrieve value from ccno.
}

From the log stack trace it seems that you don't have exception in any of the above two codes.

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Integer
InfonetFilter.doFilter(InfonetFilter.java:29)

rather in a file InfonetFilter.java. What code do you have in that file in line number 29?

Unless you find out what is happening there, it's difficult to resolve the issue.

I think you are getting confused by the objects being returned from session.getAttribute(String). Every item returned by the getAttribute method is an instance of java.lang.Object. When you cast it, you need to cast it back to the same type it was before you added it to the session (with session.setAttribute(String, Object)).

In your case, you are adding an int primitive type, which gets automatically "upgraded" to an Integer (because we need a java.lang.Object, not a primitive type).

String cc_no  = request.getParameter("ccno");
int ccno =Integer.parseInt(cc_no);
HttpSession session=request.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("ccno",ccno); 

At this point, you've added an Integer object to your session. Why bother casting or converting to a String, just to get it's primitive int value? Can't you cast to the Integer object, and then get the int value from that Integer Object?

Also, I notice that when people suggest you "cast" your Object to something else, you are instead calling a method like the Object's .toString(). I just have to ask - are you familiar with casting in Java?

MyBean bean = new MyBean();
session.setAttribute("bean", bean);
...
// session returns an Object that is also a MyBean, so we can cast the reference (bean) to a MyBean
bean = (MyBean)session.getAttribute("bean");
