Related to my previous post here, I have a simple piece of code in a servlet:

HttpServletRequest request = RequestData.getRequest();
HttpServletResponse response = RequestData.getResponse();
request.getRequestDispatcher("/something").forward(request, response);

The last line of which throws an error (below) which I am unable to trace further from this line in the stack. The error is :

javax.el.ELException: Cannot convert beta of type class java.lang.String to class com.cblnet.web.data.Env

and com.cblnet.web.data.Env is:

public enum Env {
     local,
     mirror,
     production;
}

     Just a guess: What happens if you change the Env enum to

    public enum Env {
        local,
        mirror,
        production,
        beta; // this is the guess
    }

? If somebody somewhere calls Env.valueOf("beta") they should get
an IllegalArgumentException (using the original Env), but perhaps
they're catching it and throwing an ElException instead.
