A question on methods and parameters.

Hey guys, it's my first time posting here. I'm very new to Java, and did a bit of C++ prior to Java. I had a question on methods and parameters. I don't quite understand methods; I know that they can be repeated when called, but thats almost about it. I also know that a program must have one class that holds the main method. What I truly, truly don't understand about methods is what parameters are. I know they go in the parentheses, and that's it. Could you please explain what they are? I truly appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance. Regards, Michael

Taking an example :
Suppose you are calculating area of rectangle you need two inputs one is length and breadth.Area = l X b where l = length, b = breadth
So your method, say, calculateAreaOfRectangle(int length, int breadth) will have two input parameters as arguments.
System.out.println("Area of rectangle:"+calculateAreaOfRectangle(40,30);
public int calculateAreaOfRectangle(int length, int breadth) {
int Area;
Area = length * breadth;
return Area;
So if you call this method then the output will be returned as 120.
Parameters of a method are just the input variables needed for the method to process for any calculations or anything useful.
And we cant have methods inside main method in Java. It is against the java syntax and if you do, it will throw a syntax error.

  • Custom Data Processing Extension and Parameters

    Hello,
    I have successfully implemented a custom data processing extension. Now I'm trying to add parameters, but the documentation is very weak on this topic. Also all examples of custam data processing extensions I have found so far are working without parameter support. Using a search engine I have found a custom data processing extension's sequence diagram during report execution. The related article also gives some hints about the IDbCommandAnalysis interface.
    The GetParameters implementation creates a parameter collection based on the current command text and returns this collection. So far no problem.
    My question is how to implement the IDbCommand's CreateParameter method and Parameters property? In CreateParameter I just return a new instance of my IDataParameter implementation, and the Parameters property returns a new parameter collection based on the current command text.
    Is this ok so? At least this is the first implementation which seems to work in the data designer. If I share an instance variable for GetParameters and Parameters I will either get all parameters twice or BIDS will crash when pressing the execute button in the dataset designer - depending on my actual implementation.
    What I'm still missing is how to get the parameters added automaticall to the dataset's properties parameter register?
    thanx in advance and kind regards, Gerald

    I think that finally (after some days of trying) I could make it work. The dataset and report parameters are reflecting the command text's parameters now (BTW: to answer my last question - the dataset's properties are updated after pressing the refresh button only). The road to success was not to use the same member variable for the collections returned by IDbCommandAnalysis:GetParameters() and IDbCommand:Parameter and not to fill the latter one with the command text's parameters (see partial source code below).
    public sealed class MyCommand : IDbCommand, IDbCommandAnalysis  
        private string m_commandText;  
        private MyParameterCollection m_parameters = new MyParameterCollection();  
        public string CommandText  
            get { return this.m_commandText; }  
            set { SetCommandText(value); }  
        public IDataParameterCollection Parameters  
            get { return m_parameters; }  
        public IDataParameter CreateParameter()  
            return new MyParameter();  
        public IDataParameterCollection GetParameters()  
            return GetParameterCollection();  
        private void SetCommandText(string commandText)  
            m_commandText = commandText;  
        private MyParameterCollection GetParameterCollection()  
            // ... create parameter collection based on m_commandText  
    Still there are some open questions:
    How can I update the report parameter's properties? Now the parameter's data type is always string, but I'd like to assign the right data type. I'd also like to tag the parameters as hidden and supply a non-queried default value. Is this possible? How?
    Although I my implementation of IDbCommandAnalysis:GetParameters() returns a collection containing the parameter names and values the "prompt query parameters" dialog (after pressing the query designer's execute button in the toolbar) shows a "<blank>" value for the parameters. What could be the problem?
    Thanx in advance and regards,
    Gerald

  • Session method and call transaction methos which one is the sap recomonded

    hi
    PLease give me the answer to these questions.
    session method and call transaction methos which one is the sap recomonded why .
    2) if we want to maintain BDC program in all the systems.wt to d0

    Hi Revethi,
    Here is the difference between the Session and Call Transaction method.
         Session
    Session method supports both small amount of data aswell as large amount of data
    2) data processing is asynchronus and data updation is synchronus.
    3) it process multiple apllication while perfomaning validations.
    4) in session method data will be updated in data base only after processing session only.
    5) system provide by default logfile for handling error records.
    6) it supports both foreground aswell as background process
    in bdc we use FM ... bdc_open_group " for creating Session
    bdc_insert " adding transaction and bdcdata table for updating database
    bdc_close_group " for closing Session
          Call Transaction
    Call transaction exclusively for small amout of data
    2) it supports only one apllication while perfoming validations
    3) there is no default logfile, We can explicitly provide logic for creating logfile for handling error records.
    we can create logfile by using structure....BDCMSGCOLL
    4) it doesn't support background processing.
    5) data processing is synchronous and Data updation is Synchronous( default), in
    this method also supports daya updation in asynchronus process also.
    Syntax:
    Call transaction <transaction-name> using BDCDATA
    mode <A/N/E> update <L/A/S>
    messages into BDCMSGCOLL.

  • Method design question...and passing object as parameter to webserice

    I am new to webservice...one design question
    i am writing a webservice to check whether a user is valid user or not. The users are categorized as Member, Admin and Professional. For each user type I have to hit different data source to verify.
    I can get this user type as parameter. What is the best approach to define the method?
    Having one single method �isValidUser � and all the client web service can always call this method and provide user type or should I define method for each type like isValidMember, isValidAdmin ?
    One more thing...in future the requirement may change for professional to have more required field in that case the parameter need to have more attribute. But on client side not much change if I have a single isValidUser method...all they have to do is pass additional values
    isValidUser(String username, String usertype, String[] userAttributes){
    if usertype == member
    call member code
    else if usertype = professional
    call professional code
    else if usertype = admin
    call admin code
    else
    throw error
    or
    isValidMember(String username, String[] userAttributes){
    call member code
    One last question, can the parameter be passed as object in web service like USER object.

    First of all, here is my code
    CREATE OR REPLACE
    TYPE USERCONTEXT AS OBJECT
    user_login varchar2,
    user_id integer,
    CONSTRUCTOR FUNCTION USERCONTEXT (
    P_LOGIN IN INTEGER
    P_ID_ID IN INTEGER
    ) RETURN SELF AS RESULT
    Either your type wont be compiled or this is not the real code..

  • Actual Benefits of final methods and final parameters

    I know that a lot of this depends on the JVM and the actual code, but I was wondering what the actual real world advantage was of using final methods and final parameters.
    I use a business and data layer for my program to interact with the database. So all of the methods in these classes are public and static. I was just wondering if it would be benefical to make all of these methods final and all of the parameters final also. I won't ever be making subclasses of these classes, so is this worth doing?
    Thanks,
    Dave Johansen

    On the point of final, this should always be a design decision. That is, does it make sense to allow your class to be overridden? Making classes and/or methods final is a big barrier to future enhancements and extendability - so only make soemthing final if you haver a specific reason for doing so.
    Any performance issues should not take a high precedence in this decision - and in any case the difference in making something final will be non-existant for all practical purposes.
    How about volatile?
    I get the meaning of synchronized but
    volatile?Volatile is a keyword that tells the JVM it can't optimize / inline serctions of code that use certain variables. You may not realise it, but the JVM takes your bytecode and chops them up and re-arranges them at runtime, to boost performance. This can sometimes have dangerous consequences in a mutlithreaded environment, so by adding the volatile keyword you are saying to the JVM (or specifically HotSpot) not to perform any "code magic".
    Here's a simple example:
    public class TestClass {
        private boolean check = false;
        public void setTrue(){
            check = true;
        public void check(){
            check = false;
            if(check){
                System.out.println("Will this ever print?");
    }Obviously the string will never print in a single threaded environment. However, in a multithreaded environment, is is possible that a thread could call setTrue() between another thread setting the value to false and performing the if() check. The point is that due to runtime optimization, Hotspot may realise that check is always false, so completely remove the code section with the if block. so regardless of the value of the boolean, the code may never be entered.
    One solution is to declare the boolean check as volatile. This tells the JVM that such optimizations are not allowed and then it is entirely possible for the string to be printed.
    One curiousity, off-topic:
    is there a way for jvms instantiations to see each
    other?Have you looked into RMI?

  • Priority or payment method and Vendor in F110

    Hi All,
    During APP (F110) which takes the priority. Payment Method or Vendor.
    For Example we have given Payment Methos as A & F in payment Run and Vendor as 30000. This vendor has payment method H on its master.
    Now when we are running payment run it is picking this vendor in exception list;
    Error#016     Pmnt methods for this run are not specified in master record or in item
    Is it because we specified this vendor in Payment run and the payment method used is different.
    Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Vivek

    Hi Vivek,
    Your Question as to which one takes priority in F110, the vendor or the Payment Method.. so please understand, that System will have vendors mentioned as the base for checking.. the question of priority does not come here..it will check for all documents posted for this vendor with payment method A & F and propose for Payment, and if it does not find anything, it will show this vendor in the exception list.
    I guess you are asking, whether system would propose, all vendors line items with Payment method A & F as per your question of priority, then the answer is "No'. System does not behave like that.
    For all vendors that you have specified in the list of vendors in the parameters, it will check whether the Payment method mentioned in parameters exists or not, if yes, it will propose all line items with that payment method and if none found, it will show that vendor in exception list.
    Hope it clarifies..

  • Hiding methods and attributes while inheriting

    Hello All,
    This is kinda urgent. While making a subclass I want to block access to methods and attributes of super class when anone creates an object of sub-class. In my particular situation I cannot override the methods.
    Let me explain it with an example:
    I have a class A which contains an attribute of type Object. All the methods accept Object type parameters and act accordingly. Now I want to create a sub-class B which acts on Strings only. I can create a wrapper to class A but I want to add some behavior which is specific to strings and use rest of the behavior as in class A. I cannot override the methods of class A because they take Objects as parameters whereas in class B the same methods take string as parameters.
    I hope you have understood the problem. Please reply ASAP.
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry the diagram turned out wrong. ObjectClass and StringClass are both supposed to be derived
    from the AbstractBaseClass.
    This method is one way to achieve what you want. You make an AbstractBaseList class that has only
    protected methods that take objects.
    To implement a generic Object version of this class you extend it and override the protected methods in
    the AbstractBaseList class to make them public.
    To implement a String list you extend the AbstractBaseList class and override the protected methods to
    make them public (but change the type of the parameters).
    The only problem with this approach is that the return types of the methods cannot be changed. Therefore
    I recommend the AbstractBaseList implement a method called
    protected Object getByIndex(int i) {
    // do list type stuff in here
    Then the ObjectList can implement
    public Object get(int i) {
    return super.getByIndex(i);
    and the StringList can implement
    public String get(int i) {
    return (String) super.getByIndex(i);
    In effect all you need to do is to implement wrapper classes that enforce type casting on the Object based
    set/get values.
    Another option is to use JDK1.5 with its generics classes. These effectivly allow you to specify which type of
    object an instance of a class accepts.
    Another question. What is the matter with the Collections classes provided in the JDK?

  • Difference between Session method and call transaction

    Hi,
    please give me the differences between session method and call transaction,
    briefly explaining synchronus , asynchronus, process, update.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Vijay Kumar
    CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
    CALL TRANSACTION
    BATCH INPUT METHOD:
    This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.
    Features:
    Asynchronous processing.
    Synchronous Processing in database update.
    Transfer data for more than one transaction.
    Batch input processing log will be generated.
    During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
    CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
    This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
    Features:
    Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
    Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
    Transfer data for a single transaction.
    Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
    No batch input processing log is generated.
    http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm
    Among the two methods call transaction is better compared to session bcoz data transfer is faster in it.
    Differences between call transaction and session.
    Session Method:
    1) Data is not updated in the database table until the session is processed.
    2) No sy-subrc is returned.
    3) Error log is created for error records.
    4) Updation is always synchronous.
    Call Transaction Method:
    1) Immediate updation in the database table.
    2) sy-subrc is returned.
    3)Error need to be handled explicitly.
    4) updation can be synchronous as well as asynchronous.
    2) ya u can use using the N mode no screen.
    3)u can't handle multiple transaction in call transaction.
    4) u can handle multiple transaction in session using the BDC_INSERT fm.
    5)When u go to SM35 u can able to see the error records.
    Which is best?
    That depends on your requirement. Both of them have there advantages.
    According to the situation u can choose any one of these.
    difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC Session method.
    1) synchronous processing.
    2) can tranfer large amount of data.
    3) processing is slower.
    4) error log is created
    5) data is not updated until session is processed.
    Call transaction.
    1) asynchronous processing
    2) can transfer small amount of data
    3) processing is faster.
    4) errors need to be handled explicitly
    5) data is updated automatically
    For session method,these are the function modules to b used.
    BDC_OPEN_GROUP
    BDC_INSERT
    BDC_CLOSE_GROUP
    For call transaction,this is the syntax.
    CALL TRANSACTION TCODE USING BDCDATA
    MODE A or E or N
    UPDATE A or S
    MESSAGES INTO MESSTAB.
    Take a scenario where we need to post documents in FB01 and the input file has say 2000 records (2000 documents, not line items in FB01 but 2000 records)
    In the BDC call transaction method
    We call the transaction FB01 2000 times (once for each record posting) and if the processing fails in record no 3 it can be captured and start with reocord 4.
    Eg: Loop at itab.
    call transaction FB01
    capture errors
    endloop.
    In the session method.
    We do not explicity call the transaction 2000 times, but all the records are appeneded into a session and this session is stored. The processinf of the session is done wwhenever the user wants it to be done. Hence the errors cannot be captured in the program itself
    Check these link:
    http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-batch-input-and-call-transaction-in-bdc.htm

    http://www.planetsap.com/bdc_main_page.htm
    Batch Input Session method is asynchronous as told by others here. But the advantage of this is that you have all the error messages and the data for each transaction held persistantly. You don't have to code anything for processing them or writing the logs.
    But at the same time, the same feature can be disadvantageous if you need to react to an error or if there are too many errors to manually correct in a session. Since the session are created in the program and its execution is done seperately, you loose the trackability of such transactions.
    With a call transaction, what was a disadvantage above will become an advantage. Call transaction immediately gives you messages back and you can react to it in your program. But the disadvantage is that, if you have several hundreds of transactions to run, running them from within the program can be resource crunching affair. It will hamper the system performance and you cannot really distribute the load. Of course, you have some mechanisms with which you can overcome this, but you will have to code for it. Also, storing the messages and storing the errored transaction data etc will have to be handled by you in the program. Whereas, in batch input session, your program's job is to just create the session, after that everything is standard SAP system's responsibility.
    Ideally, you should do a call transaction if the resources are not a problem and if it fails, put the errored transaction into a session.
    You can decide based on the data volume that your BDC is processing. If data volume is high go for session else call transaction will do.The call transaction updates will be instantaneous where as session needs to be processed explictly after creation.

    BDC:
    Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
    Features :
    BDC is an automatic procedure.
    This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
    BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
    BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
    Types of BDC :
    CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
    CALL TRANSACTION
    BATCH INPUT METHOD:
    This method is also called as ‘CLASSICAL METHOD’.

  • How to create the custom method and make it available to clients:

    Hello, Can any one help me with this problem ASAP??
    I am trying to work on an example of "Customizing the Query and Creating an Associated Custom Method"
    from http://helponline.oracle.com/jdeveloper/help/topics/jdeveloper/developing_mvc_applications/adf_pviewcustommethod.html?tp=true#method. To do that, the first task is to create the custom method and make it available to clients.
    Following instructions in the helponline documentation, I completed the three steps: (1) "Specify a custom query for the View Object definition for EmployeesView", (2) "Add the custom method to the application module Java class", and (3) "Make the method available to clients".
    The following is the error message I got to test the application module. Can anyone tell me what the message really means and what I should do. I am wondering if there is any mistakes in the document.
    (oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException) JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT Employees.EMPLOYEE_ID, Employees.FIRST_NAME, Employees.LAST_NAME, Employees.EMAIL, Employees.PHONE_NUMBER, Employees.HIRE_DATE, Employees.JOB_ID, Employees.SALARY, Employees.COMMISSION_PCT, Employees.MANAGER_ID, Employees.DEPARTMENT_ID FROM EMPLOYEES Employees WHERE Employees.SALARY > :1 and Employees.DEPARTMENT_ID = :2
    ----- LEVEL 1: DETAIL 0 -----
    (java.sql.SQLException) ORA-01008: not all variables bound

    You need to set values for the parameters in your query before you try to execute the query in the view object.
    So you need to call the setBindVars method before the query.

  • Some questions on whitespace and &

    Dear all,
    I have some questions on whitespace and & that need you kind help:
    1. Except /n /t /r and space, is there any characters that are whiteSpace characters?
    2. When parsing XML document, when the ignorableWhitespace() method is called? Will it be called from characters() ?
    e.g. Where the white space after <a> is called, and where is the white space between test1 and test 2 indied <b> is called?
    <a>
       <b>test1 test2</b>
    </a>  3. When the & should be escaped in a well-formed (or validated) XML file by replacing &?
    It should be excaped in any element content, such as <b>test1 & test2< /b> - except for <![CDATA[ section?
    It should NOT always be used in attributes? e.g. <a b="test1 & test2"/>  - has to do escaped by entity & - am I right?
    Thanks!

    2. When parsing XML document, when the
    ignorableWhitespace() method is called? Will it be
    called from characters() ?It will be called when the document has a DTD and the
    parser is a validating one that is actually
    validating, when the parser sees whitespace that is
    not part of a DTD element. It will not be called from
    characters() because that is a method that you write.I wrote a contentHandler and using Xerces parser to parse an XML document. When I set validating feature to false, I found that for:
    <a>
       <b>test1 test2</b></a>The white space between <a> and <b> (including newline) is actually called from characters(), not in ignorableWhitespace(). So does this mean that if validating - white space is always called from ignorableWhitespace(), and if not validating, if it is always called from characters()?
    >
    3. When the & should be escaped in a well-formed(or
    validated) XML file by replacing &? The XML Recommendation says "The ampersand character
    (&) and the left angle bracket (<) may appear
    in their literal form only when used as markup
    delimiters, or within a comment, a processing
    instruction, or a CDATA section. If they are needed
    elsewhere, they must be escaped using either numeric
    character references or the strings "&" and
    "<" respectively."So in this sense, both & in <b>test1 & test2< /b> and <a b="test1 & test2"/> is illegal unless replacing them by & - right? What does the markup delimiters mena in above XML Recommendation ? Example?
    Thanks!

  • Whats the difference between a class method and a instance method.

    I have a quiz pretty soon and one of the questions will be: "How does an instance method differ from a class method." I've tried looking this up but they gave me really complicated explanations. I know what a instance method is but not really sure what a class one is. Can someone post an example of a class method and try to explain what makes it so special?

  • How to call a AM method with parameters from Managed Bean?

    Hi Everyone,
    I have a situation where I need to call AM method (setDefaultSubInv) from Managed bean, under Value change Listner method. Here is what I am doing, I have added AM method on to the page bindings, then in bean calling this
    Class[] paramTypes = { };
    Object[] params = { } ;
    invokeEL("#{bindings.setDefaultSubInv.execute}", paramTypes, params);
    This works and able to call this method if there are no parameters. Say I have to pass a parameter to AM method setDefaultSubInv(String a), i tried calling this from the bean but throws an error
    String aVal = "test";
    Class[] paramTypes = {String.class };
    Object[] params = {aVal } ;
    invokeEL("#{bindings.setDefaultSubInv.execute}", paramTypes, params);
    I am not sure this is the right way to call the method with parameters. Can anyone tell how to call a AM method with parameters from Manage bean
    Thanks,
    San.

    Simply do the following
    1- Make your Method in Client Interface.
    2- Add it to Page Def.
    3- Customize your Script Like the below one to Achieve your goal.
    BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
    OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("GetUserRoles");
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("username", "oracle");
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("role", "F1211");
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("Connection", "JDBC");
    Object result = operationBinding.execute();
    if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
    return null;
    return null;
    i hope it help you
    thanks

  • A question about class and interface? please help me!

    the following is program:
    interface A{
    public class B implements A{
    public static void main(String [] args){
    A a = new B();
    System.out.println(a.toString());
    }i want to ask a question, the method toString() is not belong to interface A, why a can call method toString()? the interface call the method that isn't belong to, why? please help me...

    because a.toString() call the method toString() of class Object because B implements A, but extends Object and in the class Object there is a method toString(). infact if you override the method toString() in class B, a.toString() call toString() in class B.
    try this:
    interface A {}
    public class B implements A
      public String toString()
        return "B";
      public static void main(String [] args)
        A a = new B();
        System.out.println(a.toString());
