ClassCastException after search groups in Nuxeo 6.0 with Oracle JDK 1.8.x

Hi,

My Nuxeo configuration : Nuxeo 6.0-HF25, Oracle JDK 1.8.0.66 (x64) and Oracle Sun LDAP Directory

When I research a group in the AdminCenter or with the widget to add permission, I get the following error in the logs:

When using a JDK 1.7.0.55 (x64), I do not have the error…

Thanks Pierre

ANSWER

Hi, I'm very surprise that just a JDK change would provide different behavior. Without your LDAP server it would be difficult to reproduce and diagnose, it seems that a field in an LDAP entry is specified as a list but returns a simple string. Do you have ways to debug and put breakpoints in the offending code to find out the shape of the affected entry?
