Question:

I tried to add a child XML based content to a XML based virtual content programatically and getting the following error. The child content and virtual content reside in the repository. Any idea why I am getting the following error.
thanks in advance

java.lang.ClassCastException: com.documentum.vdm.impl.AdaptiveNode.

sample code

public boolean checkoutVDM(String docId){

Solution:

Are you using a XML Application for this VD? Is the childNode compatible with the chunking logic in that XML Application?
