class cast exception with array return result

[christopher.cooper]

I am continuing this from my bug post (sorry).
I am having difficulty with an array not being cast properly. I have done what is outlined on here as far as I can tell.
http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/faq.html#arrays

This is the issue I opened for some background info
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XMLRPC-178

I have done what is in the last comment, and I am still getting the class cast exception, I am really unsure where to go from here and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi,

you are right, there is a bug in FAQ.
the point is, that you can not cast the result of the XML RPC call, in your
case

return (String []) windows.getInstances(category);

is the problem.
You have to transform the result to String[] as described in the FAQ (but
without the cast in the first line of FAQ example)

If you have any further questions, pls, ask ;-)
Regards

Stano
