[morph-user] ClassCastException...

[Hernan S. <hsi...@pd...>]

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here... I'm trying to build a graph 
transformer using a simple Spring context that defines this bean:

<bean
    id="graphTransformer"
    class="net.sf.morph.transform.transformers.DelegatingTransformer">
    <property name="components">
        <list>
            <ref bean="immutableTypesOnlyIdentityConverter"/>
            <ref bean="timeCopier"/>
            <ref bean="collectionCopier"/>
            <ref bean="propertyNameMatchingCopier"/>
            <ref bean="containerCopier"/>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>


All of the reference beans are very simple bean definitions, for example:

<bean
    name="collectionCopier"
    class="net.sf.morph.transform.copiers.CollectionCopier"/>

The context loads up fine as a FileSystemXmlApplicationContext.  When I 
try to do the following simple conversion in my Test case:

public void testSimpleConvert()
{
    String theSource = new String("Hello");
    String theDest = 
       (String)myGraphTransformer.convert( String.class, theSource );
    assertNotNull(theDest);
    assertEquals(theSource,theDest);
}

...I get the exception below.  I don't get this exception when I build this 
DepegatingTransformer programmatically.  Also, I don't get the exception 
when I leave off the "components" property definition for the graphTransformer 
bean.  I can see DelegatingTransformer is doing a case to Transformer[] which is 
failing.

Please let me know if you spot my error... thanks in advance... Hernan
