Issue when trying to get the subtraction of two HashSets

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

The following is my scenario:

Set<String> cs = new HashSet<>();

cs.add(row5.c);

globalMap.put("cSet",cs);

Set<String> tcs = new HashSet<>();

cs.add(row5.tc);

globalMap.put("tcSet",tcs);

Set<String> Bn = new HashSet<>();
Bn.addAll((Set<String>)globalMap.get("cSet"));
Bn.removeAll((Set<String>)globalMap.get("tcSet"));

ERROR MESSAGE:

Exception in component tJava_2
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.Set

Can anybody advise? Appreciate it so much!

Hi
I tested your code with a simple job, but I don't have compilation error.
tFixedFlowInput--main--tJava
Can you explain why you need to write Java code? Please give us more detailed information about your requirement, maybe you can achieve it with existing components.

Thanks for your reply, Shong.

What I want is to get the difference in those two sets. I define those two sets first and then use addAll() and removeAll() method to accomplish it, but it failed with errors. Appreciate your help!

Hi

I tested your code and it works without error, would you mind uploading your job or sending it to me via email? I will look into it further.

Thanks for your help, Shong. I just added an output following my scripts which is System.out.println(Bn), then I got what I want, thanks for your answers.
