Hello, I'm trying to retrieve an object from the session in the following way:

User loggedUser = (User) Executions.getCurrent().getSession().getAttribute( Constants.LOGGED_USER );

but I'm getting a ClassCastException at runtime saying I can't cast User to User. If I remove the cast in the code, I get a type mismatch at compile time.

I've tried to write:

Object test = Executions.getCurrent().getSession().getAttribute( Constants.LOGGED_USER );
log.info("user from session: " + test.getClass().getName());

And test is of type User.

How could I exit this deadlock? Thank you. Regards.
