Closed as program error.
Error description
ClassCast Exception, when rendering a page that references an authoring component that the logged in user has no access to, that doesn't exist or that fails retrieval. The known occurrence of this problem is when referencing and authoring component using an AuthoringTool tag with an autofill context in a menu component, however the fix should also correct other occurrences of the problem which is identified by the following error in the log file: IWKPC1085X: Exception while rendering component: inline class com.aptrix.pluto.cmpnt.InlineEditCmpntReference - Exception: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.aptrix.pluto.content.Content. (Also refer to APAR PK74875 for the above exception but for a more specifc scenario.) The inline edit component reference was using the source attribute during rendering to reference the content item the authoring component applies to. The source attribute should be reserved to reference the source component mapper item for elements.
Local fix
The authoring component has a new attribute that is used during rendering to reference the editable content item. The source attribute is no longer used as the authoring component is a library component and can not exist in the component mapper of another item as an element. This prevents the backup lookup using the source in the scenarios where the retrieval by ID fails.
