BufferedReader cannot resolve symbol

Hi,
I need some help with a java program which reads xml files to a specified location, running it on a UNIX machine using Java 1.4.1. I modified the code to include the BufferedReader class, but it keeps complaining about not being able to resolve symbol at line 50 & 53. Any help here would be appreciated, since I'm a newbie.
bash-2.05$ javac outputScript.java
outputScript.java:50: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor InputStreamReader (java.lang.String)
location: class java.io.InputStreamReader
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader("in"));
^
outputScript.java:53: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : method available ()
location: class java.io.BufferedReader
while (in.available() !=0)
Here's the code:

First, you only need to create the FileInputStream once. Then that's what you pass to the InputStreamReader constructor. Your code for reading from the BufferedReader is also wrong.FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(outputLocation+filename);
// FileInputStream bis = new FileInputStream(fstream);  <-- remove this line
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fstream));
// available() doesn't do what you think it does; forget about it.
// Here's the standard way to use a BufferedReader
String line = null;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null)
  // process 'line'
} There are probably other errors in the code, but reading all that unformatted code is too much of a hassle. In future, please use &#x7B;code} tags when posting source code.

    There is no way to be able to see MyDocumentListener class in the way you wrote. The reason is because MyDocumentListener class inside the constructor itself. MyDocumentListener class is an inner class, not suppose to be inside a constructor or a method. What you need to do is simple thing, just move it from inside the constructor and place it between two methods.
    that's all folks

        StringBuffer pageBuffer = new StringBuffer();
        String inputLine;
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
           new InputStreamReader( theURL.openStream() ) );
        while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
             System.out.println(inputLine);
            pageBuffer.append(inputLine);
        in.close();
    } catch (Exception ignored) {}C:\Projects\WebExplorer\PageVisitor.java:142: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : variable pageBuffer
    location: class PageVisitor
         return pageBuffer.toString();
    Paul

    A try block is just like any other block delimited by {...} in that all variables declared inside it are local to that block. I.e. they are not visible or usable anywhere outside it. Your pageBuffer variable, for example, is a local variable that can only be used inside the try-block in which it is declared.
    Your obvious solution, knowing that, is to declare the variables outside the try and catch blocks. Remember to initialize them (even to null), otherwise the compiler will complain about variables that may not have been initialized.

  • Sequential.java [28:1] cannot resolve symbol

    The program asks users to enter random numbers.They are stored in a vector. The numbers are then added and the results of the addition stored in an vector.ie
    sum1=item1
    sum2=item1+item2
    sum3=item1+item2+item3
    sumn=item1+item2+,,,,,+itemn
    here is the program
    import java.util.Vector;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Sequential {
    /** Creates a new instance of Sequential */
    public Sequential() {
    public static int inputInt(String str){
    BufferedReader input=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    System.out.println(str);
    int val;
    try{
    val = Integer.parseInt(input.readLine());
    }catch(Exception e){}
    return val;
    public static void main (String args[]){
    //initialising
    Vector myarray = new Vector();
    Vector sum = new Vector();
    int ans = 0;
    int dim;
    dim = inputInt("Enter the array dimension");
    //populate the
    for(int i=0; i < dim; i++){
    myarray.add(i,inputInt("Enter the array dimension"));
    for(int i=0; i < dim; i++ ){
    ans = Integer.parseInt(myarray.get(i)) + ans;
    sum.add(i,ans);
    for(int i=0; i < dim; i++){
    System.out.println("Item [" + i + "] is " + sum.get(i));
    it dispalys on ".add" part
    Sequential.java [28:1] cannot resolve symbol in
    myarray.add(i,inputInt("Enter the array dimension"));

    Vectors store objects, not primitives.
    Try the Integer wrapper class, e.g. myarray.add(i, new Integer(inputInt("Enter the array dimension")));
    There are some other code problems I think you'll notice, but you should be able to work those out.

  • Cannot resolve symbol error while trying to define methods in a class

    Well, I'm fairly new to java and I'm trying to write a simple program that will take user input for up to 100 die and how many sides they have and will then roll them and output the frequencies of numbers occuring. I have overloaded the constructor for the Die class to reflect different choices the user may have when initializing the Die.
    Here is my code:import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Die
         private final int MIN_FACES = 4;
         private int numFaces;
         private int i = 0;
         private int faceValue;
         private Die currentDie;
         private BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
         private String line = null;
         public Die()
              numFaces = 6;
              faceValue = 1;
         public Die (int faces)
              if (faces < MIN_FACES) {
                   numFaces = 6;
                   System.out.println ("Minimum number of faces allowed is 6.");
                   System.out.println ("Setting faces to 6... . . .  .  .  .   .   .   .");
              else
                   numFaces = faces;
              faceValue = 1;
    //Returns an array of Die Objects
         public Die (int num_die, int faces)
              numFaces = faces;
              Die[] protoDie = new Die[num_die];
              for (i = 0; i <= num_die-1; i++)
                   Die currentDie = new Die(numFaces);
                   protoDie = protoDie.initMultiDie(currentDie, i);
         public Die (double num_die)
              int numberOfDie = (int) num_die;
              Die[] protoDie = new Die[numberOfDie];
              System.out.print ("Enter the number of sides for die #" + i);
              for (i=0; i <= protoDie.length; i++) {
              do {
                   try {
                        line = br.readLine();
                        numFaces = Integer.parseInt(line);
                   catch (NumberFormatException nfe) {
                        System.out.println ("You must enter an integer.");
                        System.out.print ("Setting number of dice to 0, please reenter: ");
                   if (numFaces < 0) {
                        System.out.println ("The number of sides must be positive.");
                        numFaces *= -1;
                        System.out.println ("Number of sides is: " + numFaces);
                   else
                      if (numFaces = 0) {
                        System.out.println ("Zero dice is no fun. =[");
                        System.out.print ("Please reenter the number of sides: ");
                   numFaces = 0;
              while (numFaces == 0);
              Die currentDie = new Die(numFaces);
              protoDie[i] = protoDie.initMultiDie(currentDie, i);
              i = 0;
         public Die[] initMultiDie (Die[] protoDie, Die currentDie, int i)
              protoDie[i] = currentDie;
              return protoDie;
         public Die reInit (int sides)
              currentDie.roll();
              return currentDie;
         public int roll()
              faceValue = (int) (Math.random() * numFaces) + 1;
              return faceValue;
    }When I compile I get 2 errors at lines 42 and 73 saying:
    Cannot resolve symbol | symbol: method initMultiDie(Die, int) | location: class Die[] | protoDie[i] = protoDie.initMultiDie(currentDie, i)
    I've tried mixing things up with invoking the method, such as including protoDie in the parameter liist, instead of invoking the initMultiDie method thru the protoDie Die[] object. I'm a little confused as to what I can and cannot do with defining arrays of Objects like Die. Thank you for any input you may be able to provide.
    ~Lije

    I may as well just replace Die with Dice and allow
    Dice to represent a collection of 1 die.. I just like
    to cut on bloat and make my programs be as efficient
    as possible.Efficiency and avoiding code bloat are good goals, but you don't necessarily achieve it by creating the smallest number of classes. If you have N algorithms in M lines, then you have that many, regardless of whether they're in one class or two. A really long source file can be a worse example of bloat than two source files of half the size -- it can be harder to read, less clear in the design, and thus with more bugs...
    The important thing is clarity and a strong design.
    The weird thing is, that initMultiDie is
    what seems to be throwing up the error, but I don't
    see why. Meh, I'm sure I'll figure it out.Refactoring a class to make the design more transparent often helps you figure out bugs.

  • Cannot find package error and cannot resolve symbol error

    Hi
    I have a file Assignment.java in C:\TIJCode\c03 folder. But this file belongs to the default package. This file imports a package com.bruceeckel.simpletest which is in C:\TIJCode\ folder. Now this package has a file named Test.java which accesses a few more files fromt he same package.
    I set the classpath to C:\TIJCode. When i try to run the Assignment file I get an error saying package com.bruceeckel.simpletest cannot be found and cannot resolve symbol error. symbol: Test Class: Assignment.
    The files in com.bruceeckel.simpletest package were not compiled. So I first tried to do that. But I get a cannot resolve symbol error while trying to compile a file NumOfLinesException which inherits SImpleTestException file. The exact error message is

    Hi agian,
    I looked closer at your code, I think if you play around with directories and paths, you'll get it, and I think also when you import, you have to have put the class in a package...? Maybe? Blind leading the blind here! So at the top of your box class you have to say something like
    package org.blah.lala
    and you have to have that directory structure for the class files org/blah/lala/Box.class
    Does that make sense?
    And then when you import you say:
    import org.blah.lala.Box
    (I think)
    I cna only imagine that this 'help' I am giving you would be hilarious to a more experienced programmer!
    Anyway, best of luck.

    <li style="margin-right:0;" id="pnlName" runat="server"><a href="/cart" title="Checkout" class="global-checkout">Checkout</a></li>
    .ascx.vb page
    Me.pnlName.Attributes.Remove("style")
    I have cleaned, rebuild and nothing gets rid of these errors, but again the site works as designed, but I would like to launch and debug inside of Visual Studio.

    Cor,
    What I am stating is this is a solution using the Web Site Project instead of a
    Web Application Project.
    Web Site projects do not require Designer.vb files, Web Application Projects add Designer.vb files in the solution.   
    Background: I have been hired to support a very successful e-commerce site that was built by a 3rd party vendor (I had no input on the contract or specification, because I would have went with
    MVC).  The site works 100% correctly, however from my 2003 - 2015 experience with Visual Studio and Web Development being in Web Forms and MVC I have always built ASP.NET Solutions using the Web Application Project Templates, which compiles the code down
    to .dlls.  
    A Web Site project does not compile the code, but simply uses the .vb files and they have to be migrated to the server with the .aspx files. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd547590%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
    Currently the only way I can debug this Solution is to attach to the w3wp.exe process running locally on my work station. 
    The Solution is comprised of two Web Sites, which I cannot get it to compile because of the following errors -
     'webServerControlName' is not a member of '(Protected Code Behind Class Name)'  I am reaching out to the MSDN community to see if anyone has experienced this issue with
    Web Site Projects.
    I hope that clears up the Project Type question.

  • Getting error message Cannot Resolve Symbol when trying to compile a class

    Hello All -
    I am getting an error message cannot resolve symbol while trying to compile a java class that calls another java class in the same package. The called class compiles fine, but the calling class generates
    the following error message:
    D:\Apache Tomcat 4.0\webapps\examples\WEB-INF\classes\cal>javac
    ConnectionPool.java
    ConnectionPool.java:158: cannot resolve symbol

    PooledConnection pcon = new PooledConnection(con);
    ^
    ConnectionPool.java:144: cannot resolve symbol
    symbol : class PooledConnection

    PooledConnection pcon = new PooledConnection(con);
    The code is listed as follows for PooledConnection.java (it compiles fine)
    package cal;
    import java.sql.*;
    public class PooledConnection {

    I am using Sun JDK Version 1.3.0_02" and Apache/Tomcat 4.0. Both the calling and the called class are in the same directory.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    tnx..
    addi

    Is ConnectionPool in this "cal" package as well as PooledConnection? From the directory you are compiling from it appears that it is. If it is, then you are compiling it incorrectly. To compile ConnectionPool (and PooledConnection similarly), you must change the current directory to the one that contains cal and type
    javac cal/ConnectionPool.

  • Missing method body and cannot resolve symbol

    I keep getting these two errors when trying to compile. I know that I need to call my fibonacci and factorial functions from the main function. Is this why I am getting the missing method body error? How do I correct this?
    Am I getting the cannot resolve symbol because I have to set the num and fact to equal something?
    Thanks
    public class Firstassignment
    public static void main(String[]args)
         System.out.println();
    public static void fibonacci(String[]args);
         int even=1;
         int odd=1;
         while (odd<=100);
         System.out.println(even);
         int temp = even;
         even = odd;
         odd = odd + temp;
    public static void factorial (String[]args);
         for (int count=1;
         count<=num;
         count++);
         fact = fact * count;
         outputbox.printLine("Factorial of" + num + "is" + fact);

    Hey... :o)
    the problem is that you've put semicolons at the end of the function signature, like this:
    public static void fibonacci(String[]args);
    }that should happen only when the function is abstract... so ur function should actually look like this:
    public static void fibonacci(String[]args)
    }also, i think you've missed out on the declarations (like what are fact and num??)....

  • "cannot resolve symbol" in a Timer !!!Please Help!!!

  • Cannot resolve symbol: class OracleDriver

    Attempting to compile a servlet on Apache Server using same jdeveloper jdbc libraries:

    Error message:

    ProdJobs.java:361: cannot resolve symbol

    Am I missing something else?
    Jeffrey

    Enter this code into your program and then put the Oracle jar file that contains the driver in your run-time classpath.
    try {
      Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
      catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
      // driver not found
    }The effect of this is that the classloader will load the Oracle driver for you then call it's static initiailizer that does a bunch of magic that results in the Java runtime knowing that there's a JDBC driver out there.
    It is a little weird - but that's the way it works.
