    I could be wrong but just a suggestion.. when returning the object try to set it as a string. Example is:

    return((String) objectValue);

    Why introduce the complication of a runtime error (ClassCastException) when trying to fix a compile time error? As Mr777 pointed out, we have no clue what the method getCoveredQCTestCases returns other than its an Object - the original poster should provide more information if they want more information.
