Integration error between AEM and Adobe Events - cannot be cast to java.util.Vector

[CrisBlacks]

Hi, I am trying to integrate my AEM on premise (6.4.8.4) with Adobe Events (cloud). I followed this guide: https://developer.adobe.com/events/docs/guides/using/aem/aem_on_premise_install_6.4/

I only have the default events (created with the bundle installation), but the event instances fail to load properly. When starting the author for each of the 5 default events I get this error:

Also trying on Sling Health Check to check the status of csm-events I get a Critical error also of type Vector casting.
Trying to perform manual actions on the Author to trigger the events, are not sent to Adobe Events. Calling the Journaling API I get code 204 (no content).

I also attach the event configuration related to this specific log

Does anyone know how to solve this?

The problem is that Adobe Events is supported officially for AEM 6.5 onwards. You need to contact Adobe for backward compatibility
