Hi,
try modifying

public class SimpleWebScript extends AbstractWebScript‍

with

public class SimpleWebScript extends DeclarativeWebScript‍

Also look at this topic https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=45048
and this https://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=44976

Thanks for the reply, but I still get this exception:

DeclarativeWebScript extends AbstractWebScript so it makes sense that the same ClassCastException still happens.

I tried the following and it works fine.


   public static void main(String[] args) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
      intecon.demoscripts.SimpleWebScript sws = new SimpleWebScript();
      WebScript ws = (WebScript)sws; 
      System.out.println("Cast done");
   }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The jars I compile against are the ones in Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\lib
I am completely out of ideas on where to go look for the problem.

Hi,
Can you try by addidng Override


public class SimpleWebScript extends AbstractWebScript
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
   @Override
   public void execute(WebScriptRequest req, WebScriptResponse res)
   {
        }

I got working by placing the SimpleWebScript.class file in C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\intecon\demoscripts and not in C:\Alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\intecon\demoscripts. I am not yet sure why that is the case, but for now I can live with it.

Thanks for all the help
