CASTING AN ARRAY OF OBJECTS

Hi guys, How I need do to cast an array of objects to a String array??!?!
I am using
String array[] = (String[]) getObjects();
//getObjects() return a Object[]Thanks.
Giscard

And what? You get a ClassCastException? If so, you're attempting to change the type of reference that points to the object to a type that isn't the same as the class of the object instance, or a class that the class of the object instance extends, or an interface that the class of the object instance implements.

               System.out.println("the string is " + strings[x]);

I understand all replies so far, but from my
understanding, objects are passed by reference No, they're not. Rather, object references are passed by value.
Object obj = new Object();
String a = "pass me by reference";
Object anotherObj = (Object)a; // this explicit cast is not necessary
String anotherString = (String)anotherObj; // this cast works because the object in question is a String
There's no passing in that code, so I'm not sure where that even came from. However, that works because it's all legal casting.
works as I think it should, and does, and futhermore
String[] cast to Obj[] cast to String[] works also...Because the object you're casting actually is a String[].
so why not if Obj[] to String[] Because String[] is not a subclass of Object[]. That's just how the language is specified.
futhermore if they are
all string...Again, this has no bearing on the type of the array object.
I saw hot to cast array to String[] and wondered if
this is real cast or calls the toString method...It's a real cast.
but most importantly, does this mean if I have a
vector of Strings and want to get them as an array of
strings, I have to loop through the Obj[] (or vector)
and cast each to (String)...just to get them as an
array of String[]....No, zparticle's code can do that.

Reading arrays of objects

I am new to OCI programming, but have read the manuals on reading objects, but can not figure out how to do what I want to do from that documentation. I am using oracle 9.2.0.7
I have a package that produces a bunch of data. Currently this data is stored as records in local variables. From my understanding OCI can not read oracle records
so that I will need to change package to use either varrary or associative arrays. I do not want to place this data into a actual oracle table because the data only has meaning at time package procedure is run and then is out of date for any other purposes. I Only want to read the data that is created in sql packages so that my C program can do other work with that data. It will change data into an XML format that Internet Application will use.
This is where I am stuck, it is implied that OCI should be able to read these created arrays of objects, but all examples are reading oracle tables that have objects in them. So I would like either an example or some suggestions on how to get started on doing this. So far I have created and oracle object type that has my fields in it. Since I do not know how many records I will be creating when I
run this package I think I should put data in an associative array.

Hi
Yes, you'll need to publish the data somehow. One way to do it is to place the data into a PL/SQL collection; then select from that.
There's a write up of some examples at http://www.dbasupport.com/oracle/ora9i/cast.shtml

Retrieving array of objects using Named Query

Can i retrieve an array of objects using a Named Query? The execute query method of Session returns only an Object but not an array. Please let me know if there is any possibility.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
You define a named ReadAllQuery query object, and after query execution, you can cast the returned Object as Vector, and further convert it to an array.

Displaying the contents of an array of objects

Hello All,
My Java teacher gave us a challenge and I'm stumped. The teacher wants us to display the contents of the array in the main menthod. The original code is as follows:
public class TestObjects
     public static void main ( String args[] )
          Thing[] thingArray = { new Thing(4), new Thing(7) };
}I understand that the elements of the array are objects, and each one has a value assigned to it. The following code was my first attempt at a solution:
public class TestObjects
     public static void main ( String args[] )
          Thing[] thingArray = { new Thing(4), new Thing(7) };
                                for ( int i = 0; i < thingArray.length; i++)
                                   System.out.println( thingArray );
}To which I'm given what amounts to garbage output. I learned from reading about that output that its basically displaying the memory location of the array, and the the contents of the array. There was mention of overriding or bypassing a method in System.out.println, but I don't believe that we're that far advanced yet. Any thoughts? I know I have to get at the data fields in the objects of the array, but i'm not having an easy time figuring it out. Thanks very much in advance!

Note that you're trying to print the entire array at every loop iteration. That's probably not what you meant to do.
You probably meant to do something more like
                             System.out.println( thingArray[i] );Also, note that the java.util.Arrays class has a toString method that might be useful.
To which I'm given what amounts to garbage output. It's not garbage. It's the default output to toString() for arrays, which is in fact the toString() defined for java.lang.Object (and inherited by arrays).
I learned from reading about that output that its basically displaying the memory location of the array, and the the contents of the array.It displays a default result that is vaguely related to the memory, but probably shouldn't be thought of us such. Think of it as identifying the type of object, and a value that differentiates it from other objects of the same type.
By the way I assume you mean "+not+ the contents of the array" above. If so, that is correct.
There was mention of overriding or bypassing a method in System.out.println, but I don't believe that we're that far advanced yet. Any thoughts? No, you don't override a method in println; actually methods don't contain other methods directly. You probably do need to override toString in Thing.
I know I have to get at the data fields in the objects of the array, but i'm not having an easy time figuring it out. You can get to the individual objects in the array just by dereferencing it, as I showed you above.
But I suspect that won't be sufficient. Most likely, Thing doesn't have a toString method defined. This means that you'll end up with very similar output, but it will say "Thing" instead of "[Thing" and the numbers to the right of the "@" will be different.
You'll need to override the toString() method in Thing to get the output you want.

Array of objects.....different syntax !!

Both are Array of objects.........
Object[] array = new Object[2];
        array[0] = new Long( 1 );
        array[1] = new String( "My string" );Another code.........
private Color colors[] =
         { Color.black, Color.blue, Color.cyan, Color.darkGray,
         Color.gray, Color.green, Color.lightGray,
         Color.magenta, Color.orange, Color.pink, Color.red,
     Color.white, Color.yellow };Both are array of objects. but look the difference one usues new another dont
i dont like the second one.....but it is usued. what is it ?

What I meant is you can always use the new operator to create an array. You can even use it in conjunction with populating it: Object[] = new Object[] {"foo", new Integer(5), etc...}; But more to the point, declaring an array final says nothing about that array's elements.
public class ZZZ {
    final int[] arr_; // legal, as long as all ctors give this variable a value
    public ZZZ() {
        arr_ = new int[1]; // legal, even without providing a value for the element
    public ZZZ(int size) {
        arr_ = new int[size]; // legal
        arr_[0] = 0; // legal
        arr_[0] = 1; // legal
}

Array of Object Refs

I am doing exercises in a book (a couple books) to learn Java. I am a procedural pgmr and want to learn Java.
Question 3 in Chapter 4 says:
Create an array of object references of the class you created in Exercise 2, but don't actually create objects to assign into the array. When you run the program, notice whether the initialization messages from the constructor calls are printed.
In exercise 2, I created an created an overloaded constructor. There are two constructors one that takes an argument and one that doesn't. I think I understand that I am being asked to look to see the values of the variables before the object is actually created but after initialization.
My question is that I am not sure I understand what is being asked in question 3. I have to create an array of object references. I understand object references to be the varable names that hole the contents of the object. I don't understand what I am supposed to put into each (the two) elements of the array.
Here is program written for exercise 2:
//: c04:J402.java
/* This has overloaded constructors. However, the argument must be given. Without it, there is an exception at runtime. */
class Bird {
Bird() {
System.out.println("The object is an egg");
Bird(String age) {
System.out.println("The object is " + age + " months old");
public class J402 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String age = args[0];
new Bird(age);
} ///:~
Thank you so much for any help.

My question is that I am not sure I understand what is
being asked in question 3. I have to create an array
of object references. I understand object references
to be the varable names that hole the contents of the
object. I don't understand what I am supposed to put
into each (the two) elements of the array.
You need to make three different concepts clear to yourself: objects, object references, and reference variables.
Objects are objects are objects. They are self contained entities that live somewhere in the memory. But, as you can't manipulate the memory directly (there are many good reasons for that), you can't manipulate objects directly.
To get to objects you need references (or pointers). A reference is like a memory address. It normally points to the memory location of an object, but if the reference can also be a special 'null' reference that doesn't point to any object (or to every possible object, depending on how you want to look at it). The JVM takes care of talking to the underlaying object through the reference.
An object can have many references pointing to it but a reference can point to only one object (or no / any object in the case of a null reference).
Reference variables, then, are the ones you have in source code. Here's an example of a reference variable:Bird tweety;
tweety = new Bird("I thought I saw a pussy cat!");(given a hypotetical class that can take a String object as an argument to the constructor)
"tweety" is a reference variable. A reference variable is a variable that can hold a reference -- surprise! :). If not set to any particular reference, it's value may be null. If you now do something likeBird bird2 = tweety;
tweety = new Bird();you first define a new ref. variable "bird2" and set its value to tweety's ref. Then you reset the var. tweety to point to a new Bird object. What happens to bird2? Nothing!! ... but if instead of "tweety = new Bird();" you had written "tweety.setChirp("TWEET!!!");" and then called bird2.chirp(), it would have chirped with "TWEET!!!" because the references of bird2 and tweety point to the same object.
But, you can have references outside reference variables. In reference arrays (or "object arrays", the terminology can be confusing), for instance. Then, the codeBird[] flock = new Bird[2];0) Creates, allocates and initializes a new reference array object.
1) Creates a new reference variable called "flock" and assigns it to a reference that points to the object that was created in 0).
2) Creates 2 more references to Bird objects, initially set to null. No further objects are created. These references can be used like reference variables through flock[0] and flock[1].
(not necessarily in this order)
Now this should answer the excersise 3. The references of flock[0] and flock[1] are left as null and they don't point to any objects - They will only if you do something like "flock[0] = new Bird("chirp!");" or "flock[1] = tweety;"

Placing an array of objects onto stage

I am trying to place an array of objects onto a stage where they drop vertically. I have been able to do it by placing the array objects into an object called "bag" but have found that the bag object only contains the last array object id so I can not apply actions to various array objects.
Also my objects do not loop and only appear once.
Below is the code so far.
var tempArray:Array = new Array(); // Stores randomised values
var bagArray:Array = new Array("gslow_id","gshigh_id","glow_id","ghigh_id","gdiv_id",
"gcall_id","gbust_id","gbull_id","gboom_id","gbear_id"); // List of bag names
function createBags() {
if (tempArray.length == 0) { // check if array is empty
     for (var i:Number = 0; i < targets; i++) { // for loop - creat variable bagName to the value of targets
     var bagName: String = bagArray[i];
     var depthLevel:Number = this.getNextHighestDepth();
     // attach movies to time line
     this.attachMovie(bagName, bagName, depthLevel, {_x:random(350) + 100, _y:random(0) + spacing});
     spacing += 45;
     tempArray.push(bagName);
     //trace(tempArray);
     bag = _root[bagName]; // create a bag object contain the bagName variable

Creating a generic class with a constructor that takes an array of objects

I am relatively new to java and want to build a quick utility class that can generate a Run Length Encoding of any object. The idea is to take an array of objects of type "O" and then encode a string of objects that are "equal" to each other as an integer that counts the number of such equal instances and a single copy of the instance. This has the potential to very quickly reduce the size of some objects that I want to store. I would like to implement this class as a generic.
public class RunLengthEncoding<O> {
     private class RLEPair {
          private int length;
          private O object;
     public RunLengthEncoding(O[]) {
}As you can see, I need to make a constructor that takes an array of type "O". Is this possible to do? I can't seem to find the right syntax for it.
Thanks,
Sean

Sorry. Obvious answer:
public RunLengthEncoding(O[] oarray) {Again, sorry for the noise.
