Cannot resolve symbol: class EJBObject

Using javac I get this compile error on this file Calculator.java
Calculator.java:1: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class EJBObject
location: package ejb
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
^
Calculator.java:5: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class EJBObject
location: interface Calculator
public interface Calculator extends EJBObject {
Source code for Calculator.java
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
import java.rmi.*;
public interface Calculator extends EJBObject {
public long add (int x, int y) throws RemoteException;
public long subtract (int x, int y) throws RemoteException;

This code is from a book, so I will assume its a classpath problem. My
classpath looks like:
"C\QTJava.zip".;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\locale
Also the following enviorment varibales have been set to:
J2EE_HOME
C:\Development\Java\j2sdkee1.3.1
JAVA_HOME
C:\Development\Java\jdk1.3.1
Path
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%J2EE_HOME%\bin
I can run j2EE, like "j2EE -verbose" (no problems)
also run cloudscape, like "cloudscape -start" (no problems)
also can run deploytool, like "deploytool" (no problems, & deploy sample ear files from cd book)
Your help is appreicated.

Cannot resolve symbol class graphics

does anyone know what the error
cannot resolve symbol class graphics means?
with this code i can't seem to call the graphics method to draw the line....any reason why?
import javax.swing.*;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        LineDraw ld = new LineDraw();
        ld.setSize(500,500);
        ld.setVisible(true);
        ld.enterVariables();
    public void init(){
    private int x1;
    private int x2;
    private int y1;
    private int y2;
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        g.GetGraphics(g);
        super.paintComponent(g);
        g.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2);
    public void enterVariables() {
        x1 = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter x1:"));
        y1 = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter y1:"));

        y2 = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter y2:"));
        repaint();
}

well the exact error message is ...by the way now that i think about it
if the graphics method shoudl not be part of the JFrame class then what method would i use to draw 2D Graphics?

Cannot resolve symbol class Scanner (Error)

For whatever reason I get the error message "cannot resolve symbol class Scanner" when trying to run this:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class NameReversal
     public static void main(String args[])
          System.out.print("Enter your name: ");
          Scanner Reader = new Scanner(System.in);
          String first = Reader.next();
          String finl = Reader.next();
          int z = first.length();
          int v = finl.length();
          int y = z-1;
          int f = y-1;
          for(int i = y; i>=0; z--)
          System.out.print(first.charAt(1));

          for(int p = f; p >= 0; p--)

The Scanner class is in the JDK version 1.5 or later. You must be using an earlier version.

Cannot resolve symbol: class OracleDriver

Attempting to compile a servlet on Apache Server using same jdeveloper jdbc libraries:
classes12.jar & nls_charset12.jar
Error message:
$compilejava2.sh ProdJobs
ProdJobs.java:361: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class OracleDriver
location: package driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
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.

Replace the Statement

Error:cannot resolve Symbol class"name"

when I have compiled Bean class named SlBean which has primary class named pk, I recevied following error message(I compiled pk class without error) :
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class pk
location: class SlBean
public pk ejbCreate(

Sorry , its not classpath problem. You have to simply import the pk class if its in any package. I am assuming you have packaged your pk class with ejb jar file.
for eg. if your class is
package abc.xyz
public class pk
then in your bean class import
import abc.xyz.pk;

Cannot resolve symbol - class FileInputStream

I am getting the above error when I compile this following method; I get it in the first line of code.
Anyone know why?
private String readAndProcessData(FileInputStream stream)

      BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(iStrReader);
      try
         output.setText("");

I am already doing this in another class which is linked to this one.
I have three classes and java.io is imported in the Inteface, and this method is in the model class.

Cannot resolve symbol: class NamespaceContext

I get the following error when I compile
import javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext;
I have added jar files come with jwsdp-1.3

It's a bit old, but for the records:
The NamespaceContext class is in the jaxp-api.jar which is located here: jwsdp-1.6\jaxp\lib
As the time of this writing, 1.6 is the current version ;)

Cannot resolve symbol : class InputStream

I had and environment in which this code compiled. Then I installed Java Communications API. After fooling around to get that to work, I find that I get this error when compiling. What did I do to cause this? what jar file might be missing?

InputStream is in java.io.
If you deleted a jar file in your jre/bin/lib folder there
would problably be a lot more errors then this.The possible
files are jce.jar,jsse.jar,jaws.jar,rt.jar,or sunrsasign.jar.
Although i'm not certain this is correct.If one of those files
are missing that's your problem, if not,I don't know sorry.

Wow.
1) Please in future use the code tags to format code you post so that it doesn't think you have italics in your code and render it largely1 unreadable. Read this
http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting
2) You commented out the import of java.util which is the problem you are complaining about.
3) Are you planning to stick all the code you ever write into the one source file? Why is all this stuff rammed together. Yoinks.

Cannot resolve symbol--Shape

I am having a problem with the following code in InheritanceDemo.java.
public void paint(Graphics g)
numShapes = shapeList.size();
for (int i = 0;i < numShapes; i++)
Shape s = (Shape)shapeList.get(i);
s.draw(g);
It is giving me errors on s.draw(g). It's pointing to the period after the s and says "cannot resolve symbol", Class Shape.
My Shape.java looks like the following:
import java.awt.*;
abstract class Shape {
abstract void paint(Graphics g);
Can anyone tell me what I've done incorrectly?

Okay, I think I understand. You're importing java.awt.*, so when you say Shape it thinks you mean java.awt.Shape.
(Solution 1) Change the classname Shape to one which doesn't already exist in the Java class library.
(Solution 2) Only import the classes you need, not *.
(Solution 3) Add an explicit "import Shape;" below the rest of the import statements to override

EJBObject Cannot Resolve Symbol

Hi,
I am new to EJB, i have a class converter,
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
import java.awt.*;
import java.rmi.*;
public interface converter extends EJBObject{
public double dollartorupee(double d)throws RemoteException;
public double rupeetodollar(double d)throws RemoteException;
When i complie this i recive an error,
C:\>javac converter.java
converter.java:2: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class EJBObject
location: package ejb
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
^
converter.java:6: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class EJBObject
location: interface converter
public interface converter extends EJBObject{
^
2 errors
Can Someone Plz Help me out with this. Thank you.

Even if you include $J2EE_HOME/lib/j2ee.jar in your classpath , the compiler will not find the EJBObject class. I unpacked the j2ee.jar and found out that there is no ejb directory in the jar. I have the J2EE1.3.1 distribution for Linux. I think that Sun have not included ejb in the Linux distribution . If this is true , it is either a big mistake or something they did on purpose.

Visual Studio 2012 cannot resolve symbol or Errors control is not a member of class

Visual Studio 2012 Web Site Project (Note not a Web application, so there are not Designer.vb files) > Site works perfectly fine and using IIS and attaching to IIS to debug code.
However, if I try to build the site inside of Visual Studio I am getting lots of Errors ‘pnlName’ is not a member of ‘Page_Name’ In the code behind I am getting errors ‘Cannot resolve symbol ‘pnlName’
.ascx Page
<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
location: class cal.ConnectionPool
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 {
// Real JDBC Connection
private Connection connection = null;
// boolean flag used to determine if connection is in use
private boolean inuse = false;
// Constructor that takes the passed in JDBC Connection
// and stores it in the connection attribute.
public PooledConnection(Connection value) {
if ( value != null ) {
connection = value;
// Returns a reference to the JDBC Connection
public Connection getConnection() {
// get the JDBC Connection
return connection;
// Set the status of the 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..

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.
