Sample simple-openid works on localhost, fails on server

[Nigel V Thomas]

Hi all,

Not sure if this forum is still active, but worth a shot.

I am working on integrating my app with an Openid Authentication 2.0 server, and came across a strange problem with current version (1.0.0).

When I run the example locally through Jetty, I find that the example fails with class cast exception on the consumer_returnurl.jsp, after logging in as a user. 

The error is :

[Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [Lorg.apache.jasper.compiler.JavacErrorDetail;

RequestURI=/simple-openid/consumer_returnurl.jsp

Caused by:

java.lang.ClassCastException: [Ljava.lang.Object; cannot be cast to [Lorg.apache.jasper.compiler.JavacErrorDetail;

However, when I run the same code on a server, I get a different error, failing on the same page but with the error message - Failed to login!

The Identifier verified = verification.getVerifiedId(); has returned null however, I am not sure why, any ideas?

I have got this code working on localhost on Tomcat, and it runs through the login and auth okay.

Best wishes,

Nigel
