Constructors and Private attributes

I'm developing an object which parse a string in tokens.
I need to override a Constructor, I need extend functionality of system constructor.
Another issue is I need to use private attributes in my object.
Somebody knows a way to do this?
I appreciate some help
Best Regards

Daniel,
Which release are you using? With Oracle9i R2, you can use 'user-defined constructors' (http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/appdev.920/a96594/adobjadv.htm#1009574). 'Private' attribute is not supported yet. If I know more about your usage scenario, there may be a workaround.

Geoff

Problem with local class, static private attribute and public method

Hello SDN,
Consider the following situation:
1) I have defined a LOCAL class airplane.
2) This class has a private static attribute "type table of ref to" airplane (array of airplanes)
3) A public method should return the private static table attribute
Problems:
a) The table cannot be given as an EXPORTING parameter in the method because TYPE TABLE OF... is not supported and I get syntax errors. I also cannot define a dictionary table type because it is a local class.
b) The table cannot be given as a TABLES parameter in the method because TABLES is not supported in the OO context.
c) The table cannot be given as an EXPORTING parameter in the method defined as LIKE myStaticAttribute because my method is PUBLIC and my attribute is PRIVATE. ABAP syntax requires that all PUBLIC statements are defined before PRIVATE ones, therefore it cannot find the attribute to reference to with LIKE.
I see only 2 solutions:
a) Never ever use local classes and always use global classes so that I might define a dictionary table type of my class which I can then use in my class.
b) Make the attribute public, but this goes against OO principles, and isn't really an option.
Am I missing anything here, or is this simply overlooked so far?

Hello Niels
Since your class is local and, thus, only know to the "surrounding" application is does not really make sense to make it public to any other application.
However, if you require to store instances of your local classes in internal tables simply use the most generic reference type possible, i.e. OBJECT.
The following sample report shows how to do that. Furthermore, I believe it also shows that there are no serious inconsistency in the ABAP language.

Private attributes and Inheritance.

I have a question regarding 'private attributes and inheritance'.
If I have a class that will be extended by other classes,(basically
this will act as a BASE class ),then why do I need to define
any attribute private to this base class.?
If I define an attribute as private in the base class,then the subclass cannot access
this attribute.Right?
1) Why define a private attribute in the base class ?
2) When can a situation arise whereby the base class attribute is defined
as 'private' and the base class is also extensible?

If I define an attribute as private in the base
class,then the subclass cannot access
this attribute.Right?Right. A simple example would tell you this.
>
1) Why define a private attribute in the base class?Because information hiding and encapsulation are always good things, even between super and sub classes.
>
2) When can a situation arise whereby the base class attribute is defined
as 'private' and the base class is also extensible?This question makes no sense whatsoever. A base class is extensible, unless it is marked as final, whether or not it's got private data members.
Objects usually have private state and public interfaces. The idea is that clients of a class, even subclasses, should only access the private state thorugh the public interface. So if you've designed your classes properly you shouldn't need to access that private state.
If you do, you can always provide get/set methods.
OR declare the data members as protected. That way they're package visible and available to subclasses.
But private members do not make a class inextensible.

Final class and private constructor

Whats the difference in a final class and a class with private constructot?
If we can make a class non-extendable by just giving private constructor then whats the advantage of final class? (I know final is very useful for many other things but just want to get info in this contaxt)

You can extend a class with a private constructor,I'm not sure about that. The compiler will complain.
KajThat depends on the signature of the private constructor.
If it's the no-arg constructor and you don't declare another constructor which you explicitly call from your derived class you will indeed get an error.
If however you never call it (and there's no way it can implicitly get called) from a derived class there should be no problem.
class Private1 {
     private int q;
     private Private1() {
     public Private1(int i) {
          q = i;
     public void print() {
          System.out.println(q);
public class Public1 extends Private1 {
     public Public1() {
          super(1);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          new Public1().print();
}for example compiles and runs perfectly.
But remove the call "super(1);" from the constructor and it will fail to compile.

Constructor and Class constructor

Hi all
Can any one explain me the functionality about Constructor and class constructor??
As well as normal methods, which you call using CALL METHOD, there are two special methods
called CONSTRUCTOR and CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR, which are automatically called when you
create an object (CONSTRUCTOR) or when you first access the components of a class
(CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR)
I have read the above mentioned document from SAP Documents but i found it bit difficult to understand can any one please help me on this??
Thanks and Regards,
Arun Joseph

Hi,
Constructor
Implicitly, each class has an instance constructor method with the reserved name constructor and a static constructor method with the reserved name class_constructor.
The instance constructor is executed each time you create an object (instance) with the CREATE OBJECT statement, while the class constructor is executed exactly once before you first access a class.
The constructors are always present. However, to implement a constructor you must declare it explicitly with the METHODS or CLASS-METHODS statements. An instance constructor can have IMPORTING parameters and exceptions. You must pass all non-optional parameters when creating an object. Static constructors have no parameters.
Class Constructor
The static constructor is always called CLASS_CONSTRUCTER, and is called autmatically before the clas is first accessed, that is before any of the following actions are executed:
Creating an instance using CREATE_OBJECT
Adressing a static attribute using ->
Calling a ststic attribute using CALL METHOD
Registering a static event handler
Registering an evetm handler method for a static event
The static constructor cannot be called explicitly.
For better understanding check the following code:
REPORT z_constructor.

Accessing protected and private data of a class

Hi friends,
I have writen a sample code in oops abap but iam facing some problem.
CLASS MAIN DEFINITION.
    public SECTION.
      DATA : VAR1(10) TYPE C VALUE 'NEW VALUE'.
      METHODS : PUBLIC.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS MAIN IMPLEMENTATION.
     METHOD : PUBLIC.
       WRITE : /5 VAR1.
          VAR1 = 'CHANGED'.
       WRITE : /5 VAR1.
     ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
START-OF-SELECTION.
    DATA :
           O_MAIN TYPE REF TO MAIN.
           CREATE OBJECT O_MAIN.
           CALL METHOD O_MAIN->PUBLIC.
now its working fine as public methods can be access by all the people where as protected methods can be access by class and subclass so i can inherit the properties of above class and access the protected data.
where as to access private data , private data can be access by class itself...
so now how do i access the private data within the class...ie : how do i get the above output when i use a private section instead of public..
            CLASS MAIN DEFINITION.
    private SECTION.
      DATA : VAR1(10) TYPE C VALUE 'NEW VALUE'.
      METHODS : Private.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS MAIN IMPLEMENTATION.
     METHOD : Private.
       WRITE : /5 VAR1.
          VAR1 = 'CHANGED'.
       WRITE : /5 VAR1.
     ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
START-OF-SELECTION.
    DATA :
           O_MAIN TYPE REF TO MAIN.
           CREATE OBJECT O_MAIN.
           CALL METHOD O_MAIN->Private.
iam getting a error saying you cannot access the private section...
now private section can be accessed within the class but nt by others...
to access the private section within the class how should i correct it...
Regards
kumar

HAI,
Private attributes or methods can be accessed directly by the Object but within the Scope of the Class, but not outside.
Look at this:
CLASS MAIN DEFINITION.
public SECTION.
METHODS : Public.
private SECTION.
DATA : VAR1(10) TYPE C VALUE 'NEW VALUE'.
METHODS : Private.
ENDCLASS. " END of CLASS DEFINITION
CLASS MAIN IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD : Public.
CALL METHOD Private.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD : Private.
WRITE : /5 VAR1.
VAR1 = 'CHANGED'.
WRITE : /5 VAR1.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS. " END of CLASS IMPLEMENTATION
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA: O_MAIN TYPE REF TO MAIN.
CREATE OBJECT O_MAIN.
CALL METHOD O_MAIN->Public.
PS: If there is any better alternative solution please share it .

Private attributes are not private

Please consider the following....
// this is a class by someone else.
class A{
private Integer secretPinNumber =
    new Integer(100);
// and I write this class
class B extends A{
// there is a method in here but I won't tell
// you what it is yet.
//When we extend something, the private attributes
// of the extended object are hidden, right?
// Not if you so this.....
// Sneaky method in class B
public Integer stealPINNumber(){
// cast myself as my super object and since then
// we are of the same object type, I have access
// to all private stuff in the super object.
return ((A)me).secretPinNumber;
// And keep in mind that if I get the OBJECT PINNumber,
// I can change it and the changes will show up in class A.Is this s security hole?
If I have the spec's and code for someone elses class, can I extend it, manipulate it, and become a hacker?
Am I stupid and everyone knows this and I am late to the party?
Thoughts?

The answer to my question is,
I am stupid. I don't pay attention to the details.
For clarification I did the following...
class superclass{
private Integer PIN = new Integer(100);
// this is the part in my code that I forgot.
protected Integer getSecretPin(){
    return PIN;
class sub{
sub me;
public sub(){
    me = this;
// Sneaky stuff
public Integer getPIN(){
    return
      ((superclass)me).getSecretPin();
}I was tracking down a bug and was writing some output debugging and THOUGHT that I had stumbled on a security thing. On further inspection into the superclass code I had really accessed a protected method. My compiler ignored the casting.
Thanks to all for "Looking into it."
Peace

Trying to access a private attribute of a class in the same package

Hi,
I have defined a private attribute in a class
class Sample {
     private String newString = "hello";
in another class I am trying to access newString attribute using reflection api. It is throwing hte following exception
java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: value
     at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredField(Unknown Source)
     at refletionpack.mainclass.main(mainclass.java:20)
any ideas how to do it exactly? Should stringclass.getDeclaredField("value")
have the field name(newString) as a parameter?
public class mainclass {
     static Class stringclass = Sample.class;
     static Field stringCharsField = null;
     public static void main(String args[]){
          try{
               stringCharsField = stringclass.getDeclaredField("value");
               stringCharsField.setAccessible(true);
               char[] stringChars = (char[])stringCharsField.get("newString");
               System.out.println(stringChars);
          }catch(NoSuchFieldException ex){
               ex.printStackTrace();
          }catch(IllegalAccessException ex){
               ex.printStackTrace();
}

Hi,
to obtain the value of your private attribute you have to change two lines of code. At first you have to tell your class and not the field that private attributes can be accessed by using stringClass.setAccessible(true);After that you have to specify the name of the attribute to obtain which is called newString in your class which results in
stringCharsField = stringClass.getDeclaredField("newString");For the invocation of the method get(Object) you need an object first that is an instance of the analyzed class by calling Object sample = stringClass.newInstance.
Then you can retrieve the actual data of the requested field by calling String string = (String) stringCharsField.get(sample);A simpler solution would be when you make your attribute newString static. Then you can omit the necessary object for the retrieval of the attribute data and the line would result in String string = (String) stringCharsField.get(null);.
For further issues considering reflection you should read the appropriate API.
Hope it helps.

How to call a private attribute from a funcion module?

Guys,
I am trying to call a private attribute but of course it does not recognize the attribute. I am not very familiar with ABAP Objects, so i need some help on this. What is the solution as i need to get values from the fields which are inside the private attribute of the class CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_CONTAINER. The private attribute name is a_primary_record.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Sushanth,
We save the text not as fields in a ztable directly but as a text.Please check the format below since it is based on a working code....
first you need to create a text in s010 transaction...
there should be some key based on which you plan to save the text..imagine it is Purchase order then..PO+item numner is always unique.eg:0090010(900PO/item10).so in the code you can append these two and they will be unique..so you can always retrieve them,overwrite,save them anytime you need
**************data declarations
TYPES: BEGIN OF TY_EDITOR,
EDIT(254) TYPE C,
END OF TY_EDITOR.
data: int_line type table of tline with header line.
data: gw_thead like thead.
data: int_table type standard table of ty_editor.
****************fill header..from SO10 t-code..when you save you need the unique key..youfill it here and pass it in save_text function module
GW_THEAD-TDNAME = loc_nam. " unique key for the text -> our unique key to identify the text
GW_THEAD-TDID = 'ST'. " Text ID from SO10
GW_THEAD-TDSPRAS = SY-LANGU. "current language
GW_THEAD-TDOBJECT = 'ZXXX'. "name of the text object created in SO10
*To Read from Container and get data to int_table
CALL METHOD EDITOR ->GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE

Mapping private attribute in workbench

Hi,
The mappingworkbench will not generate a toplink-deployment-descriptor.xml for directly mapped attributes that have accessibility private. Other comments in this forum and weblinks that date from Webgain-Toplink describe that this should be possible.
So my questions are:
- where can I find current toplink documentation that describes how to map private attributes?
- how can I get around the fact that the mapping workbench does not accept methods with private accessibility?
Thanks for your insights,
Joost de Vries

Hi Donald,
First; what I want to do is create a 'value object' [cf. Fowler], that is: a java object that can be given values for its attributes at creation time, but not afterwards.
So the way I try to accomplish that is by making the mutator (set-method) private.
This is how to recreate the situation: I have a working mapping. I change the set method of an attribute to private. I restart jDeveloper (*), I generate the toplink-deployment-descriptor.xml. The generation fails with the message 'Method setDjiNummer(Integer i) has private access in class org.myOrg.MyClass'.
Sincerely,
Joost de Vries
Nederland
(*) by the way: is there a better way to make sure the Toplink Workbench sees changes made to java classes?

Private attributes & class property definition errors

I'm setting up functions in a document class file, then from there I am going to call that function from a movieclip in flash. For some reason, maybe I have things set up wrong, but it is throwing me errors such as below:
Line 37 1013: The private attribute may be used only on class property definitions.
What am I doing wrong here and is there something I am not understanding?
Here is my .as code.

Bursting with translation and security attributes?

Hi folks,
I've been lurking on the forum for a while and despite not always finding a solution, existing threads normally pointed me in the right direction - so thanks :)
I'm working on EBS 11.5.10 with the latest Bi-Publisher 5.6.3 (5472959) and bursting (5968876) patches installed.
I have successfully done the following individual AR Invoice Bi-Publisher tasks:
1. translated an invoice RTF template by attaching an xliff file to the data definition,
2. applied security attributes to the template to restrict updates on the resulting PDF,
3. burst a custom AR invoice print and emailed the resultant pdf's.
The PDF generated by the combined Invoice print correctly applies the translation and security attributes; however when I run the "XML Publisher Report Bursting Program" to the XML file the resultant burst PDF's do not apply the translation or security attributes. I assume this a limitation of bursting control files? If so, is this on the list of future enhancements to Bi-Publisher?
Here's an example of my control file document entry, I have included locale and pdf-security entries - these don't cause an error but equally don't generate the desired result (p.s. I know I'm emailing on a PRI filter - it's just a test):
<xapi:document output-type="pdf" delivery="att_email">
<xapi:template type="rtf"
location="/usr/tmp/xxxINVOICE3.rtf"
locale="fr-US"
pdf-security="true" pdf-encryption-level="1" pdf-permissions-password="xxxxxx"
filter=".//G_INVOICE_HEADER[PRINTING_OPTION='PRI']" >
</xapi:template>
</xapi:document>
Thanks
Dave

==Properties Idea's

You would have happened to try applying the security stuff in the application for your template? Try that and see if the pdf properties get set.
If that doesn't work your left with two options:
1. create a java concurrent program and set the properties manually.
2. Log a tar.
=================
==local idea's
=================
Are you sure you don't have to create template config for the locale? i suspect that's why it's not applying the xliff translation. Also, your NLS_LANG needs to be set to FRENCH for the approriate template to be applied. If your logged-in as english your french format template will not be applied, neither will the translation. As an example you can query vl table and you'll only get american (us) but if you alter your session you'll get the translation for that language when your query the table.
location="xdo://xxxAR.xxx_XML_PRINT.fr.US"
try it out and see if that works. Note: This will only work if your session NLS_LANG is set to FRENCH.

Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?

Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?
Can such a document be exempted from the cloud feature, a feature that I use for the rest of my stuff?
If so, how can I do this?

Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

Global and Tp Attributes

Hello Friends,
I need to store some additional information in the DFF of OE_ORDER_HEADERS_ALL.
The problem is that, all the columns from attribute1 to attribute20 have already been used. It has been observed that, there are some TPATTRIBUTES 1 to 15 as well as Global attributes.
Only thing which I understood is, TP and Global attributes are used for country specific and localizaiton purposes, however since we are not using Trading partner, and these columns are free.. Is it feasible (without any impact) to use them? and in that case, Will the form of Sales Order show these additional DFFs?
I tried to check, however Global attribute DFF was not found on the form , for TP attributes, it was found but was covered by field Order Source .. Any suggestions?
Best Regards

Hi

from 001 to 10000 - product category . you can mention
otherwise PRCAT = 001 ,002......10,000 you have to make one by one single entry.
