This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro development when working with component interfaces and their associated methods.
  
  Cause:
  
  Method Type Mismatch: The method defined in the component interface has a specific type (e.g., GET, SET, CALL, etc.), and the implementation of that method in the component does not match this type.
  Incorrect Method Signature: The parameters or return types of the method in the implementation may not align with those defined in the interface.
  Changes in Interface: If the component interface was modified after the implementation was created, it could lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Method Definition: Review the method definition in the component interface to ensure that the method type is correctly defined.
  Update Implementation: Go to the implementation of
