XACML Class cast exception

Question

I am new to XACML and getting the following error

java.lang.String cannot be cast to com.sun.xacml.ctx.Attribute
    at com.sun.xacml.BasicEvaluationCtx.setupSubjects(BasicEvaluationCtx.java:252)

I have defined my attribute something like this:

        Set subjects=new HashSet();

        subjects.add("Julius Hibbert");
        Subject subject = new Subject(subjects);

        Set subjectList=new HashSet();
        subjectList.add(subject);

            value = new AnyURIAttribute(new URI("http://medico.com/record/patient/BartSimpson"));
            Attribute resource = new Attribute(new URI("urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:resource:resource-id"), null, null, value);
            Set resourceAttrs=new HashSet();
            resourceAttrs.add(resource);

            Set actionAttrs=new HashSet();

            DateTimeAttribute date=new DateTimeAttribute();
            AttributeValue attvalue=new StringAttribute("read");

            Attribute action = new Attribute(new URI("urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:1.0:action:action-id"), "", date, attvalue);
            actionAttrs.add(action);

            Set env=new HashSet();

RequestCtx request = new RequestCtx(subjects, resourceAttrs,
                    actionAttrs, environmentAttrs);

My XACML file is:

Where am I going wrong?I am using Sun XACML implementation.

After observing your code I found that you are trying to cast a String type to Attribute Type of class com.sun.xacml.ctx.Attribute. Pass the parameters as it is defined by the attribute class : Attribute Class Paste your code in the Pastebin so that i can take a look.
