I am getting the following error:




Illegal assignment from SObject to Contact




I created a class called DynamicSObjectUpdater that I use to consolidate DML statements in my triggers. Basically you just call the class getSObject and it appends the SObject to a Map called sorToUpdate and then returns the SObject.



In one of my classes, I am calling the Class and its saying the following code is an illegal assignment from SObject to Contact.



Contact conToUpdate = sObjectUpdater.getSObject(con.Id);


I am not sure what I am missing here to make this work.



public with sharing class DyanmicSObjectUpdater 

Map<SObjectType, Map<Id, sObject>> sorToUpdate = new Map<SObjectType, Map<Id, sObject>>();

public SObject getSObject(ID sObjectID)

SObjectType sot = sObjectID.getSobjectType();

if(!sorToUpdate.containsKey(sot))

sorToUpdate.put(sot, new Map<Id, SObject>());


SObject targetSObject = sorToUpdate.get(sot).get(sObjectID);

if(targetSObject == null)

targetSObject = sObjectID.getSobjectType().newSobject(sObjectID);
sorToUpdate.get(sot).put(sObjectID, targetSObject);


return targetSObject;

          You need to cast the return value.



          Contact conToUpdate = (Contact)sObjectUpdater.getSObject(con.Id);


          More generally, you cannot directly assign a value typed at compile time as a superclass (like sObject) to a variable typed as a subclass (Contact is a subclass of sObject). You can perform a cast to tell the compiler that the sObject instance you're getting back from getSObject() is actually a Contact; if at runtime this is not the case (i.e., you get back an Account or something else that isn't a Contact), you will receive an exception.



          You might find the implementation of the Unit of Work pattern in fflib interesting as you're building this type of generic/abstracted DML code.
