java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to com.spring.webapp.lojavirtual.acesso.persistence.model.Usuario

Question

In my spring project, I have implemented a generic class to serve as base for all my Dao class. By example, my class UsuarioHome have this code:

@Repository
public class UsuarioHome extends Dao<Usuario> {

    public UsuarioHome() {
        super(Usuario.class);
    }

}

and my generic class has this code:

public class Dao<E> {

    private final E entity;

    @Autowired
    SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    protected Session getCurrentSession(){
        return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
    }

    public Dao(E entity) {  
        this.entity = entity;
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public Dao(Class<?> classe) {
        this.entity = (E) classe;
    }

    public E getEntity() {
        return this.entity;
    }

    @Transactional
    public boolean persist(E transientInstance) {
        try {
            sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().persist(transientInstance);
            return true;
        } catch (RuntimeException re) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    @Transactional
    public boolean remove(E transientInstance) {
        try {
            sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().delete(transientInstance);
            return true;
        } catch (RuntimeException re) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    @Transactional
    public boolean merge(E detachedInstance) {
        try {
            sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().merge(detachedInstance);
            return true;
        } catch (RuntimeException re) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Transactional
    public E findById(int id) {
        try {
            E instance = (E) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().get(entity.getClass(), id);
            return instance;
        } catch (RuntimeException re) {
            return null;
        }
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Transactional
    public E findByField(String field, String value) {
        try {
            String expressao = entity.toString();
            String nome_classe = new String();
            StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(expressao);
            while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
                nome_classe = st.nextToken();
            }
            String query = "from "+nome_classe+" where "+field+" = :data";

            Query q = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery(query);
            q.setParameter("data", value);
            E instance = (E) q.uniqueResult();
            return instance;
        } catch (RuntimeException re) {
            return null;
        }
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    @Transactional
    public List<E> findAll() {
        try {
            List<E> instance = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(entity.getClass()).list();
            return instance;
        } catch (RuntimeException re) {
            return null;
        }
    }

}

But, when I need retrieve a list of all items from the table, I am receiving 0 items. The method for do this is placed in my class UsuarioService:

@Transactional
public List<Usuario> listagem_usuarios() {
    return usuario.findAll();
}

where I autowires my Dao class:

@Autowired
private UsuarioHome usuario;

@Autowired
private GrupoPermissaoHome grupo_permissao;

Anyone can tell what I am doing wrong here? I tested this solution in other projects (simpler than that), and it work.

UPDATE

When I try run the application, I am facing a cast error, like this, by example, when this json page is opened:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="json" uri="http://www.atg.com/taglibs/json" %>
<json:object>
<c:forEach var="item" items="${lista}">
      <json:object name="usuario">
         <json:property name="id" value="${item.id}"/>
         <json:property name="login" value="${item.login}"/>
         <json:property name="pnome" value="${item.first_name}"/>
         <json:property name="unome" value="${item.last_name}"/>
         <json:property name="email" value="${item.email}"/>
      </json:object>
</c:forEach>
</json:object>

the console shows this error:

Answer 1

Ok, I solve this issue following the sugestion from this topic:

Class derived from generic class don't get the correct type

the final code for the Dao template it's that:

public class Dao<E> {

    private final Class<E> entity;

    @Autowired
    protected SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    protected Session getCurrentSession(){
        return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
    }

    /*public Dao(E entity) {  
        this.entity = entity;
    }*/

    public Dao(Class<E> classe) {
        this.entity = classe;
    }

    /*public E getEntity() {
        return this.entity;
    }*/

    @Transactional
    public boolean persist(E transientInstance) {
        sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().persist(transientInstance);
        return true;
    }

    @Transactional
    public boolean remove(E transientInstance) {
        sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().delete(transientInstance);
        return true;
    }

    @Transactional
    public boolean merge(E detachedInstance) {
        sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().merge(detachedInstance);
        return true;
    }

    @Transactional
    public E findById(int id) {
        E instance = (E) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().get(entity.getClass(), id);
        return instance;
    }

    @Transactional
    public E findByField(String field, String value) {
        String expressao = entity.toString();
        String nome_classe = new String();
        StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(expressao);
        while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
            nome_classe = st.nextToken();
        }
        String query = "from "+nome_classe+" where "+field+" = :data";

        Query q = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createQuery(query);
        q.setParameter("data", value);
        E instance = (E) q.uniqueResult();
        return instance;
    }

    @Transactional
    public List<E> findAll() {
        return (List<E>) sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(entity).setResultTransformer(Criteria.DISTINCT_ROOT_ENTITY).list();
    }

}
