java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.util.Map$Entry

This error occurs when you try to cast a String object to a Map.Entry object. A Map.Entry object represents a key-value pair in a map, and it cannot be directly cast from a String object.

To resolve this error, you need to check your code and ensure that you are not trying to cast a String to a Map.Entry. You should also make sure that the data types of the objects you are working with are compatible.

If you are working with a map and want to retrieve a specific key-value pair, you can use the map.get() method to retrieve the value associated with a given key. This will return the value as an object, which you can then cast to the appropriate data type if necessary.

Here's an example of how to retrieve a value from a map:

Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("key", 1);

Integer value = map.get("key");

In this example, we create a map with a key-value pair, and then retrieve the value associated with the "key" key using the get() method. The value is returned as an Integer object, which we can then use as needed.
