    Neither really,
    GrammarWriter.OutPutFormat is the name of the class,
    GrammarWriter$OutPutFormat.class is the file into which the class is stored.

  • Error in importing user-created jar file & cannot find symbol

    Hello.
    I try to import the jar file made from common classes in the previous project. by using NB 5.5.1.
    The jar file is named as 'tpslib.jar'
    The previoud package name is 'tps'.
    I added tpslib.jar in the library, and removed the class files from the orginal project, because the class files exist in the tpslib.jar.
    THe jar file has 8 class files inclduing the following class, ReservationData.
    My question is why the follwoing fuction call try to the method in the previous package, tps instead of those of tpslib.jar.
    If you have anyone to answer me, it will be very appreciated.

  • Java Studio Enterprise 8.1 and jdk1.6 - cannot find symbol

    Hi,
    I am using subj. The problem I have is that I declared 2-3 classes with methods in one package. I made an object of the class and use intellisense to navigate to the method I need but when I try to compile the code I have "cannot find symbol" error on the method I intellisensed to. It seems to me that it is IDE problem.
    Does anyone know how to work around it?
    The code is below, in case you are interested.
    package webservice;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Main {
    /** Creates a new instance of Main */
    public Main() {
    * @param args the command line arguments
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    String filename = null;
    String timestamp = null;
    try {
    Q q = new Q();
    timestamp = "2007-06-01";
    QList ql = q.getList(timestamp);
    System.out.println("--------------Ok-------------");
    catch(Exception e) {
    System.out.println("An Exception thrown in Main(). e = "+e.toString());
    package webservice;
    public class Q {
    public Q() {
    public QList getList(String timestamp) {
    QList result = null;
    return result;
    Thanks,
    Dmitry

    Thanks for that Kris.
    I found the root of my problem. In this example I used a remote webservice to retrieve some data. It happened to be that the generated class file from wsdl and my custom class had the same name.
    So, instead of reporting as ambiguous definition error the ide picked up the wrong class and did not find the method I intended to use.
    Hopefully it will help someone else having the same problem.

  • Cannot find symbol class

    I am having a "Cannot find symbol" problem. My Java is a bit rusty so I'm not exactly sure what it could be. I have two classes, City and SisterCities. The SisterCities references the City class. The City class compiles fine. Both classes are part of the same package. However, when I compile SisterCities, I get the error. Could you please tell me how to get the second class to recognize the first (import, extends, not really sure. I've tried alot) Here are those two classes so far...
    ****** City ********
    package hw01;
    public class City
         public final String name;
         public final String country;
         public final City [] sisters;
    public City (String name, String country)
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
              this.name = name;
              this.country = country;
              this.sisters = new City [0];
    public City (String name, String country, City [] sisters)
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
              this.name = name;
              this.country = country;
              this.sisters = new City [sisters.length];
              for (int i = 0; i < sisters.length; i++) {
                   this.sisters[i] = sisters;
    public void setSisters (City [] sisters)
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
              for (int i = 0; i < sisters.length; i++) {
                   this.sisters[i] = sisters[i];
    public String getName ()
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
              return this.name;
    public String getCountry ()
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
              return this.country;
    public City [] getSisters ()
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
              return this.sisters;
    ******** SisterCities *********
    package hw01;
    import java.util.LinkedList;
    public class SisterCities
         public final LinkedList cityList;
    public SisterCities ()
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
    public void addCity (City city)
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
              this.cityList.add(city);
    public int getNumCities ()
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");
    public City getCity (int i)
              // throw new RuntimeException ("Not implemented yet.");

    final attribute members like "cityList" must be initialised when they're declared or inside the constructors
    if you want to compile, you'll also have to uncomment the "throws" in your methods (or return a value)
    (pay attention to the error messages the compiler gives you and paste them all when posting questions)

    hi all
    i'm defining a class within a project so i can use the class inside my program, but the line:

    you aren't using jdk 5 or higher then. that's when scanner was added to the jdk.

    Hello,
    I have 2 java files (CD.java & CDCatalog.java) in a package called "testPackage". I can compile CD.java, but CDCatalog.java (that creates CD instances) gives following error - cannot find symbol symbol : class CD
    Below are the 2 files, please tell me why I get this errors , thanks!

  • Cannot find Symbol :class CLOB

    Hi,
    I am using JDK1.5.0_06 and Oracle8.1.7.

    cannot find symbol
    symbol : class CLOB

    Can anybody tell me why this errpr comes? Is there any other files instead of classes12.zip to be added (since its JDK1.5 version? )
    Thanks in advance

    you have mentioned about the class "studentList" but that class is not to be found in the code you have pasted. its instead "ListTest". And the "menu" function seems to b a part of "ListTest" class. Can you provide the structure of the classes "studentList" and "Student" so that the problem can be more clearly understood?
    also you are using the variable "Stdin" in the line int choice = Stdin.readInteger(); where as you have not declared this variable.
    in the "switch" statement you are calling two different functions for the same case "3" where as it should be "case 3" and "case 4" respectively.
    in the "main" you are calling the "menu" function without any parameter while you actually want to pass argument of type "studentList".

    i have few class files which are inherited to the main program using ' import com.Connection; '
    i am getting errors like
    mainP.java:482: cannot find symbol
    symbol : class Connection
    location: class mainP
    Connection connection = new Connection(ipAddress, port);
    I think it is because of some classpath error.
    please advice me.......

    Actually, you have NO CLUE what he's trying to doActually he said what he is trying to do in his posting. It's no mystery. But that's all the information that's available. If you know something that isn't posted here why not say so?
    Your reply was a snide, rude, "You're stupid for doing it that way" answerMy reply was neither snide nor rude and implied none of what you impute to it. It was a proper and constructive suggestion. You are entitled to disagree with it, but that doesn't justify this immoderate outburst.
    Bottom line is, you chose to be nastyBottom line is you're just making this up. You are imputing motives to me without evidence. Don't do that.
    You are the type of person that makes searching forums and posting questions for assistance a near waste of time.I doubt that you'll find many regulars here that would agree with that assertion. When you have made over 16,000 posts here over ten years as I have, come back and we'll discuss it some more.
    Go back to grade school and ...I suggest you try it yourself. You're not adding anything except noise to the discussion. Try curbing your temper, and while you're at it have a good look at the Code of Conduct for these forums. You're verging on personal abuse here.
    And, additionally, I've used ANT in the past. Batch files are FAR AND AWAY easier to set up.In your opinion. I disagree entirely, and I have eleven years' experience with Java to back it up.
    As for CLASSPATH, I haven't done anything about setting it beyond installing the JDK since about 1999, and it has a dot in it as we speak.

  • "cannot find symbol" error - password checker class

    I had to make a program to check a password to make sure it had two letters, at least eight characters, and only numbers and letters. I'm pretty sure I have all of the checking correct but I can't make use of the method I made to do it. here is my code:
              if(password.LegalPassword())     
                   System.out.println("You enterend a valid password!");
              else
                   System.out.println("You have entered an invalid password!");
    class LegitPassword
                   //constructor
         public LegitPassword(String userPassword)
         public boolean LegalPassword (String userPassword)
                   int digitCounter = 0;
                   for(int i = 0; i < userPassword.length(); i++)
                             //is character a letter or number?
                        if(!(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i))) || !(Character.isLetter(userPassword.charAt(i))))
                             return false;
                             //is the password at least 8 characters?
                        if(userPassword.length() <= 8)
                             return false;
                             //count the digits
                        if(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i)))
                             digitCounter ++;
                   if(digitCounter <= 2)
                             return false;
         return true;
              }oh, and the exact error is:
    PasswordChecker.java:27: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : method LegalPassword()
    location: class java.lang.String
              if(password.LegalPassword())     
                         ^

    Here is the full code so that you can see how I declared password...
         public class PasswordChecker
              static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
              public static void main(String[] args)
              String password;
              System.out.println("Please enter a new password.");
              System.out.println("Remember: Passwords must be at least eight characters"
                   + " consisting of only numbers and letters with at minimal two numbers.");
              System.out.print("Password: ");
                   password = console.nextLine();
              //LegitPassword thePassword = new LegitPassword(password);
              if(password.LegalPassword())     
                   System.out.println("You enterend a valid password!");
              else
                   System.out.println("You have entered an invalid password!");
    class LegitPassword
         public boolean LegalPassword (String userPassword)
                   int digitCounter = 0;
                   for(int i = 0; i < userPassword.length(); i++)
                             //is character a letter or number?
                        if(!(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i))) || !(Character.isLetter(userPassword.charAt(i))))
                             return false;
                             //is the password at least 8 characters?
                        if(userPassword.length() <= 8)
                             return false;
                             //count the digits
                        if(Character.isDigit(userPassword.charAt(i)))
                             digitCounter ++;
                   if(digitCounter <= 2)
                             return false;
         return true;
    }The error:
    PasswordChecker.java:27: cannot find symbol
    symbol  : method LegalPassword()
    location: class java.lang.String
              if(password.LegalPassword())Are you suggesting I change the method, LegalPassword, to accept no parameters?
