[SOLVED] faktor ips ClassCastException when casting IProductComponent to concrete product

I'm using Linkki to create a UI for a faktor ips project. I have a View class in which I added the following page, to display it:

//imports...
public class TestPage extends AbstractPage{

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
    private BindingManager bindingmanager;
    private List<KfzProdukt> produktList;
    
    
    public TestPage() {
        this.bindingmanager = new DefaultBindingManager(ValidationService.NOP_VALIDATION_SERVICE);
        this.produktList= setProduktList();
    }

    @Override
    public void createContent() {
        addSection(new showDetailsPmo(produktList));
    }

    @Override
    protected BindingManager getBindingManager() {
        return bindingmanager;
    }

    public List<KfzProdukt> setProduktList() {
        ClassloaderRuntimeRepository runtimeRepository = ClassloaderRuntimeRepository.create(
                "org/.../faktorips-repository-toc.xml");
        runtimeRepository.setFormulaEvaluatorFactory(new GroovyFormulaEvaluatorFactory());
        return runtimeRepository.getAllProductComponents(KfzProdukt.class);
    }
}

The faktorips-repository-toc.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<FaktorIps-TableOfContents productDataVersion="0.0.1" xmlversion="3.0">
 <ProductComponent implementationClass="org.faktorips.beispiel.model.kfz.KfzProdukt" ipsObjectId="Kfz.NormalVertrag 2022-01" ipsObjectQualifiedName="produkte.NormalVertrag 2022-01" kindId="Kfz.NormalVertrag" versionId="2022-01" xmlResource="org/faktorips/beispiel/model/produkte/NormalVertrag 2022-01.xml"/>

 <!-- a few  <PolicyCmptType...> entries -->
 <ProductCmptType implementationClass="org.faktorips.beispiel.model.kfz.KfzAssistancedeckungsTyp" ipsObjectId="kfz.KfzAssistancedeckungsTyp" ipsObjectQualifiedName="kfz.KfzAssistancedeckungsTyp"/>
 <ProductCmptType implementationClass="org.faktorips.beispiel.model.kfz.KfzHaftpflichtdeckungsTyp" ipsObjectId="kfz.KfzHaftpflichtdeckungsTyp" ipsObjectQualifiedName="kfz.KfzHaftpflichtdeckungsTyp"/>
 <ProductCmptType implementationClass="org.faktorips.beispiel.model.kfz.KfzProdukt" ipsObjectId="kfz.KfzProdukt" ipsObjectQualifiedName="kfz.KfzProdukt"/>
</FaktorIps-TableOfContents>

When I run the application it doesn't crash, but the List<KfzProdukt> produktList is empty. runtimeRepository.getAllProductComponents(KfzProdukt.class) in the method setProduktList() returns an empty List, which I don't understand, because according to my understanding, it should return a list with one element (the first entry in faktorips-repository-toc.xml).

I tried to get said Product by specifically retrieving it. I added two lines to the method setProduktList(), like this:

public List<KfzProdukt> setProduktList() {
        ClassloaderRuntimeRepository runtimeRepository = ClassloaderRuntimeRepository.create(
                "org/faktorips/beispiel/model/internal/faktorips-repository-toc.xml");
        runtimeRepository.setFormulaEvaluatorFactory(new GroovyFormulaEvaluatorFactory());
        
        IProductComponent productComponent = runtimeRepository.getProductComponent("Kfz.NormalVertrag 2022-01");
        KfzProdukt x = (KfzProdukt) productComponent;
        
        return runtimeRepository.getAllProductComponents(KfzProdukt.class);
    }

Then I get the following error at the line KfzProdukt x = (KfzProdukt) productComponent;:

I don't understand this because I'm not trying to cast a KfzProdukt to a KfzProdukt (because why would I do that, if they are already the same thing). I want to cast a IProductComponent to KfzProdukt

Can someone please explain this to me?
